This devoted and heartfelt memoir tells of Elizabeth and Paul Ravencraft's 60-year love story, from teenage to golden age. It is a story of love, courtship, and holding on during difficult times, including times of rags to riches and to rags. There were glass ceilings broken, and pieces picked up along the way.

Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Love Stegall Ravencraft's desire to write and express herself has taken many forms. Her writing has included manuals on accounting, auditing, and industrial safety procedures, plus a handbook on the history and beliefs of major religious cults. She has written several cookbooks for family and friends, and most recently, a book featuring her beautiful tablescapes. Her proudest writing is her website, lizlovelifelessons.com, a ten-year journal about living with and caring for her husband with Alzheimer's. Since 2014, this website continues to reach thousands around the world. Along with her late husband, she was co-owner of three restaurants, which allowed her to express herself in menu design, advertising, promotions, and party planning. With her catering company she served everything from soup to nuts at events like weddings, civic gatherings, holiday parties, state conventions, and steak cook-outs on oil rigs. For almost 70 years, she was a bookkeeper and accountant for several Fortune 500 companies, CPA firms, and also for her own businesses. She is a past member of the National Association of Accountants, and was also a notary public in several states.
