Leap Before You Look - A Memoir: NA

By Nance Turner

This is a remarkable memoir of an unusual life. The author introduces us to the eclectic succession of interesting friends and family who peopled her life. She speaks with honesty and humor of an era when women's lives were changing on every stage. This versatile woman, now in her nineties, describes life from the Great Depression through World War II, to the exigencies of today. She paints a truthful picture of our humanity as she takes us from the plains of Texas, to the heights of the posh suburbs of New York City, and then back to the sedate Midwest before her "so-called" retirement in the South.A precocious child who was pushed hard to accomplish, she faces the real world and tells us honestly what it is like to grow up and work hard at more than three careers, marry three very different men, raise a successful family, all the while maintaining a sense of humor and a true "joie de vivre!" We are especially fortunate that this vibrant, straight forward, woman has shared with us her gift for life, and mindful remembrances.
