Review:
"Life can be good for Swados: she tells us - in words and pictures - what she enjoys. This is no sad woman looking for sympathy but a vibrant, exciting personality who's a musician and author. She's suffered from depression, on and off, for most of her life... the story is told with humour and affection and it's an easy, engaging, but above all informative read." - --The Bookbag
