MY RUBY SLIPPERS
THE ROAD BACK TO KANSAS
by TRACY SEELEY
SYNOPSIS:
Sure, there’s no place like home—but what if you can’t really pinpoint where home is? By the time she was nine, Tracy Seeley had lived in seven towns and thirteen different houses. Her father’s dreams of movie stardom, stoked by a series of affairs, kept the family on edge, and on the move, until he up and left. Thirty years later, settled in what seems like a charmed life in San Francisco, a diagnosis of cancer and the betrayal of a lover shake Seeley to her roots—roots she is suddenly determined to search out. My Ruby Slippers tells the story of that search, the tale of a woman with an impassioned if vague sense of mission: to find the meaning of home.

At 61, I have live in 7-8 but 3 of those were actually adjoining cities (all part of Los Angeles) so they really count as one.

I have lived in six different cities in my lifetime. However, as a child my mother had the moving bug and we would move at least once a year and I think I went to at least five elementary schools within the county. Now I have become stationary and have lived in the same home for a while:) The benefits of frequent moving – less junk accumulates in a year than it does in ten 🙂 LOL Thank you for the lovely giveaway opportunity.
