The truly remarkable thing about Patricia Motto’s story – a tale related via the men of the moment in her life at each point in time – is that it has practically nothing to do with men. It’s an often hilarious, occasionally bittersweet story of a spirited everywoman coming of age in the 60’s and 70’s who bangs her head on every opportunity and challenge that comes her way.
Summary
The course of true love may never run smooth, but seldom has it hit quite as many bumps, potholes and land mines as it does in Patricia Motto’s journey to find the meaning of that all important four letter word.
Love.
Beginning with the beautiful eyes of a kindergarten boy at nap time and continuing to the man for whom she did not get off the plane, there are stops along the way for, among others, a first kiss boyfriend, the American League’s Most Valuable Player and a twice convicted armed robber.
Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, the trip is never dull.
