Publisher's Synopsis
The author's father was gone selling hogs to market when her mother fell into an old, abandoned well on a
secluded farm in Braham, Minnesota. The year was 1951, and they had no phone. As a 5-year-old, Barbara
Sellers watched as her 8-year-old and 9-year-old brothers performed a miraculous rescue. In another short
story, as a young, single lady when Sellers first moved to Tacoma, Washington, she met serial killer Ted Bundy.
Several years later, after she went through a divorce and started dating again, she met Gary Ridgway, the Green
River killer. After being in a vehicle with two of the worst serial killers in American history, how was she able
to survive unharmed? When the author started her first full-time jobs in Tacoma, she got hired twice and fired
twice in one hour. How did she do that?
These three true short stories are included in Sellers's second book That's Life in Poetry and Short Stories. If you
read her first book, Get Tough or Die: Why I Forgave My Parents for My Abusive Childhood, you will want to
read this book, too. Some of her 10 short stories also contain belly-laughing humor. For poetry lovers out there,
the first half of Sellers's new book includes love poems, religious poems, family poems, character sketches, and
more. Each section is introduced with photos from the author's life.
