    About this ebook

    In 1949, when Morgan St. James was nine years old, her family moved from Chicago to Miami. It was a disaster for the smart Yankee who wore glasses, couldn't play sports well and wore shoes to school. She viewed being smart as a curse. By the time Christmas came, she was miserable. Find out what happened next.

    The family moved back to Chicago the following year. Much happier and much poorer. That Christmas, Morgan and her sister learned what love means.

      *****

      Introduction

      I’ve had many careers in my life, but never thought writing would be one of them. However, in the late 1970s I became a writer somewhat by accident.

      My partner and I owned an interior design firm in Studio City, California. Through a mixture of talent and luck, we designed some very interesting projects. A few of our clients were sports figures or people in the movie business. Designers West, a prestigious West Coast design magazine, approached us about writing an article for them. Of course, we said yes. What incredible exposure for only the price of writing an article.
