This book is a brief, factual, historical walk through very interesting time in history. A walk through war and peace as well as sadness and happiness.The international walk of a fabulous female, occasionally in the spotlight-too often in the shadows, until now.A phenomenal singer; pianist, lyricist, composer; storyteller; glamourous entertainer, woman of the world, friend, and last, but certainly not least, my Mum (aka Ruth Allen). I am so proud of Mum and what she stands for. She has weathered every storm thrown her way and come out singing and swinging each time as she amazingly tackles a healthy 84 years young this year. I remain in awe of her beautiful smile and hopeful, youthful look, and outlook, throughout a life that''s been anything but a walk in the park.
