Marilyn's story is that of a partnership marriage which helped build a business (The Gene B. Glick Company), the successful raising of four daughters, and unparalleled philanthropy to the city of Indianapolis through the Glick Foundation. Marilyn's story is also about the inspired building of one of the world's finest collections of studio glass art and leadership in funding, developing, and serving civic organizations in the city. Most of all, this book is a personal odyssey which has so many unusual parts, so many unpredictable facets, that it reads like fiction. It is in itself history. From the days of childhood in Detroit to the home front in World War II, to personal trials and a surprising search for roots to the position of top leadership in the community - this is Marilyn's storybook story." - from the rear outer jacket. "My life is an unbelievable Cinderella story. Like Cinderella, I lost my father at an early age, and like th girl in this fairy tale, I later married a 'Prince Charming,' who enabled me to be the woman I am today. It was not until I was in my twenties that I had any clue about what happened when I was born and what brought me to the only life I knew. That is a story within my story, one that is filled with surprises and revelations. This book was written for my grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all their families who will come in future generations. I want them to know who their Grandma Bunny was, and what her life was like many years ago. I hope you enjoy these recollections from the beginning to the end of this story." - Marilyn, from the inner front jacket flap. Signed by Author(s).
