This is a tell-all travelography written by a woman who suffered a speech impediment and was abused as a child. At 92, she reveals secrets she didn't tell her parents, three husbands, or friends, all of whom she's outlived. She has skirted typhoons, bullets, pirates, and arrest for smuggling as she sailed on freighters and luxury liners around the seven seas. She describes her interviews, while a reporter on Guam, with movie stars, government officials, entrepreneurs, and any strays who landed on the island.
