My name is Diana, and after many years, I fi nally understand that I change myself for me because I want to be the person I was meant to be, because I still have so much life to live, because I can do anything I set my mind to. I now understand that trying to change myself to please another person cannot work. It may work for a short time, but it is not a long term solution. I no longer need to be a people pleaser. I no longer have to say yes. I am learning to say no when thats what I mean. I can just be me. I am learning at last to be honest. Listening to both sides of a story will convince you that there is more to a story than both sides. Frank Tyger How true this is. My book will give you my side of the story. I ask you to accept that my side of the story is told with the honesty of my memories. Despite all you will read, I fi nally accept me as I am. I ask only that you do the same.

To Sarah, growing up in England around American military children, America, "The Land of Milk and Honey," sounds like Paradise. She dreams of immigrating to a place where anything seems possible. Yet life itself seems determined to thwart her...she has a series of death-defying experiences, and several tragic romances that distract her from her dream. Just when all hope seems lost, however, a handsome "Prince Charming," rescues her, and carries her away to the land of her dreams...just as a psychic medium had predicted. Where the mysterious old lady, reading Sarah's cards, refused to tell her the horrors that were to happen next, the previous suffering Sarah had experienced up until that time was nothing in comparison to what awaited her in America. Abandoning a familiar way of life and starting over again is much harder than she ever dreamed it would be. Dysfunction, domestic violence, and family catastrophe are among the challenges Sarah had faced in her life with much worse to come.
