From the Introduction: Can a woman with little money and big dreams get a good life? Certainly, as long as she's willing to look at every day as an adventure. A good cup of coffee, a good book, a good friend, a good bargain, as well as a good walk in Paris -- each one excites and delights Dudley Shearburn. Dudley was born knowing how to have a good time, and more than a half-century of experiences has only whetted her appetite for more: seven children and seven grandchildren, classes and reading groups, Fabulous Parties and High Teas, thrift shops and travels, and stories. Dudley's friends believe they've lived her life just from hearing her stories. You'll find resemblance's to your own life and discover that yours has more possibilities than you ever imagined.
