I am a grandmother in my eighties. I shouldn’t be here at all. I was born illegitimate in 1926. I died on the operating table when I was fourty-two. I was a guinea pig when I had a massive heart attack which gave me another lease of life, so why am I still here? After nine operations, and cancer, you need to read my story to know why I wrote my autobiography – it’s not only for the benefit of my family, but also for all the youngsters who want the latest designs in shoes – me, I had no shoes at all until I was fourteen and started work.
I have compensated for my life, by saving at least nine people’s lives, most with great danger to myself.
I still feel that I am here for a reason, perhaps my book will give hope to everyone and help them to be satisfied with what they have.
Life is wonderful for everyone to enjoy. Love and help each other, it makes you feel real good.
