We try and try again, even in the face of adversity, until one day Fortune will smile.In "Live, Laugh & Learn" the author relives her adventurous life, growing up in Europe during the Hitler years, hiding in a remote mountain cabin, fleeing from the Russians and coming to this country on a Fulbright scholarship, when life takes many colorful turns — marriage and children, adventures at sea and in the air, divorce, back to school and work, cancer, friends and recovery; told with a great zest for life.
