My Life In Shorts

Eve Quillin went from the depression and all of the problems that went with it, through life in the 1930's dust bowl, in a house with no utilities, not even an "outhouse," to a small town where she "lived" through the movies that came to town every week, fantasizing a life as a "star" with celebrities as friends, to the reality of the struggle that all lives consisted of. Her life included marriage at 13, three children by 17, a career in the field of cosmetology, where she became a respected hair color technician and teacher, to finally realizing her dream of writing about the stars that she lived with in her fantasy world so many years ago.The life of Eve Quillin can best be described by a loosely quoted statement that was made by Maya Angelou. She said," I did as good as I knew how to, and when I knew better I did better." This book is of the struggles, dreams, and dreams realized.
