This memoir and poetry collection shows us the development of a feisty young girl born in the 1940s in New York City. She endures blows that seem to make her stronger as she morphs into a tomboy and then an attractive young lady who fights for her independence with great determination and perseverance. Although unlucky in love, she takes risks to secure it, as it is what she values most in life. We find ourselves rooting for her and suffering with her as we journey through her adventurous life into her maturity

About the Author
Eileen Rapp has worked as an English and Remedial Reading Teacher, a New York State Employment Counselor, and an N.Y.S. Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. She began writing in her late teens to let out feelings evoked by events in her life and in the world. Later in life, at the JASA Senior Center in N.Y.C., she found a writing group where the teacher, Ellen Gould, encouraged her to write poetry or prose. A few years later, another facilitator at JASA, Joan Falper, started a memoir-writing workshop, After Joan heard Eileen's first piece she said, "Would you like to be published?" Eileen wrote regularly for Joan's group for more than a year. Then she joined the poetry class at the Hamilton Senior Center, taught by Michelle de Savigny, and found that she did, indeed, have a "touch of the poet." Ms. Rapp went on to take writing workshops with Andrew Warren, who gave provocative assignments, and with Abigail Unger, who was a master of constructive critiquing. Her poetry has been published in Lucidity, a twice-yearly poetry journal, and Hidden in the Light, a poetry anthology. She lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
