Synopsis
From her early years growing up in Middle Village to living in her dream house in Brightwaters, Elizabeth M. Martin weaves a story that is equally historical as it is delightfully enjoyable. In a voice that is all her own, she brings us to a window into her past. She shares with us how she grew up and how she cleverly chased after Joey Martin, the love of her life, and who she would later marry. We learn about her entry into the workforce and the exact amounts of her various salaries and raises. Making Lemonade continues, drawing us in to the special love between Elizabeth and Joey - a love that would endure three long years of separation during the War. Elizabeth goes on to tell us more tales of life, family, accomplishments, trips, fun, and sadly, loss. Scattered throughout this memoir of Elizabeth's "first life" are nuggets of insight that shed light on how she became the person she is and how she sees the world. Her resilience is remarkable, and her ability to "make lemonade out of lemons" is certainly a characteristic that defines her to this day.
