Overview

A memoir. A book of essays on life by a woman who, like many others, came to New York to seek her fortune. Without a support system, she encountered many crises, involving her in-laws, related to mental illness, domestic violence and suicide. She has tried to address these problems with a light touch. Betty Brown Hayes, a native of Massachusetts, has lived in New York City for 60 years, since graduating from college. Her essays reflect different spans of her life, including the college years, her 39 years on Wall Street as a security analyst, as wife of a lawyer, as a mother, raising her two children and putting them through college. She has had more than one career, and ran a non-profit historical society for 14 years, wrote for a non-profit rating service for charities, was Administrator of her college alumnae club for a year, and for two years was coordinator of her college class web site. Now retired, she is delving into her diverse memories. Happy reading!
