Doris has kept an address book since she was a child. Now she is 96 years old, in poor health, and most of the names in her book have been crossed out due to death. Born in Sweden, she lived a full life, replete with love, loss, and adventure as a maid, a model, and a survivor of war in Europe. As Doris looks through the book, she recalls the events that included each special person in her life. And she begins to write down her memories to share with her American niece Jenny. A gentle read.
