Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Wendy Powell takes readers on a whirlwind tour of love, loss and life that winds its way through five decades of experiences. Written over a six month period, this personal examination of the life of a woman born in Southern Ontario, after the baby boom generation, takes a stark look back at the road she traveled to bring her to where she is today. A self-made success that pulled herself out of bad situations, dealt with the realities of being a wife and mother and finally came to realize that she had arrived in paradise. In this intimate and fast paced account, Powell peeks into her past and shares anecdotes that reveal a lifetime of experience and insight. At the end of the book, Powell describes what she has come to believe about our world and how it works. She outlines her understanding of what is actually important in life and how best to move towards your own best life. It finishes with a shocking conclusion that might not be what you expect from a girl born into an A-frame home in a small city in Ontario.
