It's gotten great reviews and the beginning is already interesting. Upon perusing the pages at the back, much of it is the research that went into the biography. I'm hoping I can finish it before it's overdue at the library; it's taken me forever to move up the list since so many people want to read it.”

She is a study in psychological high dramma, and so unusual that it is compelling to read her story. It is also very well written by Joan Schenkar. Go to: Escapeintolife.com for my full review of this book.”
