""Growing up in a small Kentucky town, in a family of Baptist ministers, Carole Foster Russo knew she was destined to be different from anyone else in her family. She never dreamed though, even in her wildest imagination, that she would grow up to marry Mr. America; give birth to a beautiful and gifted son who performed in over 100 commercials on television and print ads before his untimely death from undiagnosed juvenile diabetes at age nine and a half. She never dreamed that she would, in her grief over the loss of her son, marry a prominent Miami lawyer who would turn out to be hunted by La Cosa Nostra, a man who contracted tuberculosis meningitis and was later imprisoned by the federal government after testifying against the mob; after her divorce she would have a love affair with an Egyptian diplomat who asked her to be one of his wives; and then later meet and marry her soul mate, another attorney, with whom she spent 25 glorious years traveling the world. She didn't know then that she would become a model, a stewardess, a photographer, a realtor, an interior designer, as well as a wife and mother. Carole's life has been a wild and unusual ride and this book is a tribute to those experiences that made her the woman she is today."" - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
