This Life I Love

About the Book

This story begins back in simple times when a movie at the theater was the best entertainment possible and transportation was usually by bus, train, or bike.  The depression made for hard times,  and along came the war to end all wars.   The story ends at a time when DVD’s, CD’s, and TV’s were common place and popular transportation was RV’s, jets, and limousines.

It is about a woman and her desire to make a difference in her life, her family’s life, and in the lives of those who touched hers. One of the apexes in her life was a span of time spent in Hawaii, though her heart belonged to the midwest.  The story depicts many facets of her life.
