About the Book

The support of a loving family, and especially  by Eli, a loving devoted brother without whom I could not have survived  a life built on lies ,deceit and greed..  He was my anchor  and in many ways changed my life.

In 1943 I married an American soldier while I was serving in the Royal air forcer.  He was taken Prisoner of War  and eventually returned to the United States. 3 years later in 1946  I arrived in the States  with the first

shipment of War Brides.   We were ecstatically happy .

In my sixth month of pregnancy  my life was in  jeopardy because of peritonitis, but with a good surgical team  we both survived. Nine weeks later my first child was born  and adored by my husband  However, two years and six months later my second child was born and when she was six months old, my world came crashing down on me. My husband disappeared for five years.

Like my  immediate family, my beloved father in law also played a big part in my life.

My second marriage to my  husband  who after three years  betrayed me once more

My dancing career, my lovers , my loss of  seven siblings .

The torture I endured inwardly , and my smiling face  belying my true feelings

Finally, with the guidance, love and support from my brother Eli  who took me under his wings showed me the world  of poverty, sickness and death ,love and hate.

As my future 87the birthday approaches, I consider myself  lucky and happy.
