Book Description
Five women, who come of age in the Fifties, tell how and why their lives change decade after decade to the present. In the Fifties, as part of a group of high school friends, they are programmed to please, to be perfect, and to be virgins until marriage. The scripts for their lives are written. They will marry the June they graduate from college, have children, and live happily-ever-after on the North Shore of Chicago. Their parents do not urge them to prepare for a profession because they are expected to depend on a man for their identity and support. But the girls have other ideas. While many of their friends gladly follow traditional paths, these women adapt deeply ingrained standards to what is happening around them. They take flight from their predestined lives to lives of self-reliance and independence. And, along with the other women of their generation who hold similar visions, they leave a legacy of choices to the next generation of young women. After opening their hearts and revealing their secrets and life storieswhich they describe as a powerful and rewarding experiencethey encourage readers to journal about exceptional or significant moments in their lives.

Book Description
Most of this book was written by Loretta Betke Greeley, the above authors wife, when she was still alive. Hence the Frontispiece Her Story. She describes her life from birth in 1928 to retirement in 1993 with emphasis on her early life when her parents were running a bakery in the Ridgewood Section of Queens, NY. She provides a very detailed and instructive section on the incredible activities that are required to have a successful bakeshop. She goes on to describe her apartment which will be interesting to so many people now living in single-family homes. Her delightful times at the beaches in New York City during the 1930s and 40s, and her fascination with dolls will also be of historical interest. Her notes on a Three-Generational Household and on Retirement round out her life story.
