Infos

It's a story that is lusty and enlightening, infuriating and inspiring. It's about a gifted girl who won't shut up about what is wrong with schools, who then goes on to do something about it. It's about a girl of the era of Women's Lib, who fights for its new freedoms and embraces them with gusto. It's about a girl who falls in love with a much older man and whose romance of four decades breaks the rules and builds a legacy. It's about a girl who never suffers fools gladly, and the pain that brings.

How does a square peg survive in a world of round holes? What happens to our sharp edges as we careen into our seventh decade of a wild life? Follow this cage-rattling lady from down-and-out in Central Florida, where she finds herself unceremoniously fired and caring for her elderly, disabled, and demented husband to a renewed teaching career in Virginia. In this memoir, she reflects on the rocky path that her passions have led her down, from high-school rebel to private school founder, from award-winning doctoral student to busy actress, from toilet cleaner in the Black Hills to devoted mother and home-wrecker, and a whirl of roles in between. How did she get here?
