Publisher's Synopsis
What fun Leesy had. She learned how to roll downhill with her cousins. She learned how to hide behind the bookcase. She received a little girl's watch one quiet Christmas Eve. She learned about adjoining hotel rooms. She forgot how to walk. Then she turned seven. She learned how to wear a big orange dress so she could be the Queen of Halloween. She saw sunsets in the fall and Elvis Presley at a county fair. She learned that people love both winners and losers. She learned what made her afraid, and she learned what was beautiful in this world. When she grew up she learned to be a mother herself, but don't you see she did not quite make it all work out as much as she wanted to. She kept trying. She is still trying. Time after time. You might know a Leesy. You might be a Leesy. Take a trip with her and see.
