Mary van Tamelen recounts her forty-one careers, in which she earned very little money and a lifetime of priceless experiences and adventures Mary van Tamelen's delightful tour through her many careers is a first-class memoir, describing a fulfilling and fruitful life in terms of all the ways she could be pigeonholed.
