About the Book:
“...a fast-paced autobiography that reads like a
novel and makes you wonder how this spunky author manages to maintain
her energy and positive outlook....There is no self-pity in
Louise's writing but we learn the importance of self-reliance, loyal
friends and a good lawyer. If you are from a family that never talks
about money, learn from Weezie: A Palm Beach Story and start
talking before it's too late.”
—Pamela Goldsack, Surrey, England
Growing up,
Louise Ford had everything. An only child of middle-aged, wealthy
parents, she travelled extensively throughout her childhood. They
literally took her everywhere with them—even taking her out of
school each winter until she was twelve to ski for two months of the
year. Her engineer father had retired in his fifties to spend 40 years
sailing and hunting, pursuits in which he trained his daughter to be
something of an expert and tomboy.
Louise dealt
with the shock of her life when her mother died. But she was
ill-prepared when, some years later, she lost her large inheritance to
her Colombian step-mother. Through her unquenchable humor and
optimistic outlook on life, she has bounced back from the depths of
despair to write the often hilarious story of her life to date.
