Frances Cheston Train has lived a full and fascinating life. Born into a traditional Philadelphia family in 1926, she left home at fourteen to attend the Foxcroft School in Virginia horse country. From there, she went to Bryn Mawr College, but she dropped out after three years to get married at the age of twenty-one. This affecting memoir takes the reader from 1940 to the present day, with detailed descriptions of the author's three very different lives with three very different husbands-Whitney Tower, charming sportswriter and the father of her four children; Hugh Fosburgh, Adirondack writer-outdoorsman; and John Train, erudite author and respected investment advisor. Francie's life has been shaped by her three marriages, but she has remained very much her own woman throughout. Though she has seen her share of heartbreak and tragedy, the author is unfailingly upbeat and curious. She has traveled extensively, and the reader can climb aboard as she spends time with pygmies in the Congo, the Komodo dragon in Indonesia, fishing in Siberia, and hunting in the Adirondacks.
