The Best for Last (ePub)

Pat was born and raised during the 1930's depression era. She and her family had little in the way of material things. There was no indoor plumbing, running water, or electricity. The toilet was some distance "out behind the back of the house."
During World War II Pat's family moved west to Northern California to find work and a better life. This was true of many families during the war. Pat was fourteen years of age.
Pat immediately found work in a cake and cookie factory. She attended school four hours, and worked four hours a day, plus Saturdays, holidays, and summers.
After Pat graduated high school she was able to work full time. In those days people understood if they wanted something "material-wise" in life they had to work for it. There was no welfare or "give away" programs. No "free lunch."
Later in life, after working various jobs such as office work, modeling in San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles, Pat worked over fifty one years in the real estate profession in the Bay Area near San Francisco as a Realtor/Broker.
Pat holds the unique distinction of being the only member of her real estate board to be honored "Miss Realtor" in a contest in 1960.
Pat has known many different challenges, problems, and losses. One such loss was the devastating loss of her mother who was killed by a drunk driver. Her mother was only forty five years of age. At the same time her father and young sister were critically injured. Then, the loss of her older sister, and only brother, to cancer. There were also overwhelming business losses, and personal problems.

Pat has written over seventeen hundred poems. This is Pat's seventh book.
