The Reluctant Madam

By Connie J Shipley and Laurel Miller Small

Laurel Small found herself in Portland with no marketable skills and four children, after leaving an abusive marriage in the Mid-West, when she was about thirty years old. Through sheer grit and hard work, she secured better positions at different restaurants and bars in Portland, Oregon, many of them the hot spots where the movers and shakers gathered. Laurel's sharp memory and storytelling ability has created this book for your pleasure about the highlights of her career in the hospitality industry.
