'Pamela Myer Warrender has lived an extraordinary life born into privilege and all that it allows, but stepping into the world on her own merits and determined to effect change. Her memoir travels from a childhood behind the gates of a Toorak mansion, through trips to Europe, war, marriage to an English aristocrat, raising kids, losing a son, chairing the Committee for Melbourne, and eventually separating from her husband and re-thinking life as a single, but by no means abandoned, woman.'
