Rollercoaster

Rollercoaster is the third and last book of the author's autobiography. It deals with her life from 1992 to 2012. While her emotional trials and tribulations throughout her life have stopped and she has acquired a second family, she has a more settled life, but this does not mean it is now a bed of roses. Far from it and as the title suggests, it is a veritable Rollercoaster still, with finances in disarray as she goes through two recessions. And just when she thinks she has the problems licked, from nowhere at all come fresh trials and tribulations she has to deal with. She recognises that life is not easy, not even with a second family, but life is short and one has to find happiness where one can. She is lucky in that for her second family she also has acquired two step children, a step son and a step daughter and her own son has married and produced two delightful children. For a long time that family has lived in Canada, but they have come over and she and her husband had to learn anew the delights of young children. Rollercoaster takes her life up to 2012 and she has finally come to the end of her long presentation of her life. It shall have to do. Perhaps the best to be said about life is that through the joy and the tears, the disappointments and the anger, banks threatening to foreclose she still managed to have a laugh.
