2008 Finalist in the Eric Hoffer Book Awards!!!

A long time ago, Sept 12, 1973 to be exact, a forty-two year old frustrated, disappointed, and very petulant housewife sat at her kitchen table mulling over her fate. She had the kids she was expected to have. She had the hard working hubby and the big house and a nice car. She played passable bridge and was a pretty darn good cook. But she was not happy.

She grabbed the yellow legal tablet sitting on the table in front of her and began to write. She wrote non-stop for three days, and when she was through, she knew that her life had to change and she was the one who had to make those changes. Nobody was going to do it for her. Life went on and so did her writing. For years she chronicled her journey, the good, the bad, and the just plain silly.
