Sinopse
Características

Cathy Fiorello takes the reader along on her journey back in time, telling her story in the framework of historic events. Her characters are real people, by turns hilarious and poignant, who live valiantly in threatening times: the hardships of life during the Great Depression; the shock of the attack on Pearl Harbor and stress of the war that followed it; the aftermath of 9/11, which ushered in an America that would never again be the safe world she grew up in. Along the way, we celebrate her successes as she reaches for a life beyond the boundaries for a woman of her time; we suffer her sorrows; we root for her as she defies the constraints of ageism. This is a coming-of-age story for readers of all ages.
