Fragments of a fascinating life. From playing on her grandfather's ranch and having a WWII bomber crash in front of her... to traveling cross country on a troop train alone with her sister at eleven. From sleeping in scorpion-infested quarters in the jungle of Chiapas at fourteen... to sneaking into a big Communist rally in East Berlin at nineteen. From almost being murdered by Pakistani blacksmiths wielding red-hot blacksmith tools at midnight in East Pakistan...to almost drowning on a ship on her way to Antarctica... Kate Strasburg has had a hell of an interesting life ...and it's all true and in these pages.

Strasburg, Kate: - Kate Strasburg had wanted to be a writer since she was six but was discouraged by parents who insisted she win the Pulitzer Prize. Instead, she became a teacher of German and French and had extraordinary adventures until she found her life's mission in her fifties, writing for her own nonprofit, which offered comfort to those dealing with life-threatening illness.Now in her eighties, she has returned to writing, chronicling the many adventures of her extraordinary life.
