The author of the book did not originally graduate from high school. She left to join the USO during World War II. It wasn't until after she had 4 children that she resumed her education and got her college degree after 8 yrs. of night school and another child. Two masters degrees followed and then in her 50's she went to law school and eventually was admitted to the bar in NY. Now at the age of 99 she's become a published author hoping that her grandchildren and great grandchildren can read her handwritten cards and letters. You might say I'm proud of my mother.
