In this deeply moving and beautifully written memoir the author has created a page turning story. She has blended together a story of a woman, no matter how devastating, rises up from personal setbacks as well as serious medical issues, to teach us all by example, how to survive and live.

Autobiography:

This is 94-year-old Carolyn Fried's second book. She started out as a school teacher, then became a successful real-estate investor. She chairs the Beverly Hills Theatre Guild and is politically active in progressive causes. Carolyn was known for hosting unusual dinner events which led to her first book, 12 Great Parties. Later in life, she returned to writing with a vengeance. Her philosophy is simple: "The brain is a muscle-if you don't use it, it will atrophy."
