Produktbeschreibung
Roberta M. Roy summarizes her memoir, Life's a Dance: On My Growing up and Coming of Age, as relating to the high points in her life from the time she was eight years of age until she was twenty-seven which she summarizes as follows: Having started life in the Great Depression, I early learned that hard work combined with determination and gaged risk-taking were necessary for survival. Having witnessed the effect of too little money and the resultant lack of permanent housing, I determined I would become an independent and informed adult who would earn sufficiently well as to provide stability for myself and as possible, those in my family, and on the way, I would become in a sense, more enlightened. Aided by scholarships, eventually I became a licensed speech language pathologist and my path, while not always predictably easy, was lit by variety, human experience, and indeed, a degree of adventure. Life's a Dance is the story of that venture.
