About this ebook
Seminal early self-help book from renowned author Marjorie H. Roulston, who had a varied life from minister’s daughter to fashion journalist to millionaire’s wife to widow.
“THE TITLE of this book, You Can Start All Over, isn’t something dreamed up to sugar-coat an easy, overoptimistic confidence. It is the expression of a strong conviction. I believe that when life brings a devastating change, leaving one alone and desolate, one can start all over. For I have done just that, three different times, two of them for bitterly unhappy reasons.
Some people never have to. I frequently meet women, and not always very young ones, who state that they are living in the same houses in which they were born and married. Not long ago, I had occasion to send flowers to the funeral of a woman in her eighties who had never lost her husband or child, had lived along at about the same financial level from the cradle to the grave, and many of whose girlhood friends were sitting right there in the front pews. Nobody seemed to think it remarkable. Nobody, that is, but me.”
