This memoir, the first of three, follows one woman's journey

through the roles of child prodigy, trapped teen, college dropout,

radiant bride, theatre-maker, and mother. It's about discovery-

a roller-coaster process of becoming herself, and she's still

evolving.

Elizabeth Fuller has lived her life making theatre, from Off-Broadway

to state prisons and church basements. She has composed more

than 50 theatre scores and with her mate Conrad Bishop

has written dozens of produced plays and eight novels.

Besides playing roles ranging from Lady Macbeth to Lear's Fool,

she has engineered for public radio, built stud walls, done

full-charge accounting, and mothered two children.
