This memoir tells the story of a determined career woman in the middle of the twentieth century. Inspired by her older sister Helen, Maurice Marsh shares poignant as well as amusing stories of the grit it took to go from a small farming town into the offices of the big city. When women were given few options, Maurice Marsh shows how one woman figured out how to be a wife, mother, and professional woman in a male dominated world. Not only was she good at her tasks, but Maurice Marsh understands that success also comes from being not only a good listener, but a keeper of secrets.
