If history is a window into the future, this book provides a clear view
Author says there are no shortcuts past hard work and honorable intentions

"In my wildest imagination, I never thought that a Rockefeller would be my friend, or that I would play bridge with two of the Nuremburg trial judges, or that I would attend a party in Berlin for General Lucius Clay," writes Mildred Norman in the introduction to her autobiography, Henry's Daughter: My Journeys Through the 20th Century. "Meeting governors, a president, a vice president, generals, or a burghermeister would have been fantasy."

Nearly all cultures except ours, it seems, value the knowledge and wisdom of their elders. They recognize that the information gleaned through life experiences, when blended with an awareness and understanding of what preceded them, enhances all of existence.

With Henry's Daughter, readers are given an extraordinary opportunity to learn of the day-to-day, headline-to-headline world that in many ways laid the groundwork for the 21st century. Mildred Norman is neither a professor of history nor an internationally recognized celebrity. All the better, for her autobiographical insights are those to which everyone can immediately and intimately relate.

She is a small-town girl who went on to become a good friend of one of the nation's wealthiest Americans, and along the way worked in an Army hospital, took a job in the economic renewal of post-war Germany, founded a non-profit corporation to help young people, and has labored tirelessly on behalf of equal rights in this country. This is a remarkable autobiography that provides readers with valuable background for better understanding the world in which we live today.

Box 6698, Chandler AZ 85246-6698. The book will be distributed by Ingram and Baker & Taylor. To request a review copy and/or to schedule an interview with the author, please contact the publisher.
