When I got out of high school, I thought, 'I'll take a year or two off and play the clubs, get this out of my system, and then go to med school.' More than 40 years later, I figure it's finally time to write about this crazy journey that's taken me around the world and back.

The minute my youngest sister went to school full-time, from first grade, mom went back to work. But she balanced her life.
