Abstract:
Meet the child orphaned by the Holocaust, the Israeli soldier wounded on her 20th birthday and the woman who has called five countries her home. This is the memoir of Dr. Ruth Westheimer's journey from the horrors of war to the fulfillment of the American dream. She is everyone's favourite sex therapist; a four-foot-seven dynamo who answers the most intimate questions with disarming candour and heartening warmth. Yet few really know the real Dr Ruth - her loves, her losses and the irrepressible spirit that has helped her through it all - until now. Meet the child orphaned by the Holocaust, the Israeli soldier wounded on her 20th birthday, and the extraordinary woman who has called five countries home. ALL IN A LIFETIME is the revealing autobiography of a fighter who has survived heartache with her spirit intact, including the shattering loss of her husband, and how she's learned to thrive.
