Always Betty: One Woman?Cos Romp Through Life with Grit, Wit, and Wisdom

Dear Ten-Year-Old Betty, I just ran across a photo of you when you are in fifth grade. You have a look of sadness and hopelessness and something else too. Stubbornness? Determination? Let me introduce myself; I am your eighty-eight-year-old self. Seeing that look in your eyes made me want to reach out and tell you that you're going to be okay. You will go on to live a long, productive, and happy life. Thus begins the story of a woman driven by a strong inner compass--an understanding that whatever one's dreams, they are achievable. From managing successful businesses; to flying, scuba diving, and race walking; to leading bike trips and walks; Betty shows us that one's curiosity, determination, and hard work can accomplish great things. It was those same qualities that powered her through mental illness and four cancers. Betty's inspiring life personifies those women who helped build the 20th century and personalizes the strong shoulders we all stand on. Filled with honesty and humor, her story reveals the warm human being she became and remains--Always Betty.
