Loved it. The story of the woman, how the general foods business was built, the insecure men who cameod her life and even the sprinkles of pre WWI history.

While I admire what she accomplished as a businesswoman in an era when women had little power, the book annoyed me and I stopped reading after husband number 2!

LOVED this story!!! did not want it to end. The title was perfect with the wording "lives" not life, as she had so many vast experiences.
