A real life story of a woman of courage and spontaneity - dramatic, traumatic and hilarious all at the same time. Full of adventures, it tells of an only child brought up in the post-war era - not an unkind upbringing, but well-disciplined and rather restrictive - a fight against constant opposition and a brave escape from that environment by an anxious young woman to freedom and independence. The book is confirmation of the need to seek out true friends. Opinions, based on personal experiences, are shared - some of them controversial subjects.
