Liddy's Journey

I met Liddy and heard just a small part of the story twenty years ago and was intrigued by the instinct of one so young. Could I have understood the consequences of just one incident at seventeen? I never forgot the story but was too busy to pursue it. When Liddy's daughter renewed our acquaintance by e-mail; I was retired and had the time and the desire to attempt to present this story.

As Liddy told me the story I realized that Liddy's insight and instinct impacted much of her life. The arduous journey to Israel; the difficult adjustment to life in such a different place; the patience to endure the ordeal of one of her few mistakes; the courage to take calculated risks; all contribute to this interesting life. Liddy's life is interesting because she made it so. I have enjoyed writing it and can only hope that the reader might find it enjoyable as well.
