This 37 year voyage, filled with tears, laughter and discovery, will leave you breathless. With a supporting cast of eccentric friends, spiritual gurus, distinguished actors, pioneer s of new thought and Doctor Who fans, Anneke’s story is truly stranger than fiction.To this day, Anneke’s life continues to be unpredictable and bizarre. This book – hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure – brings us up to 2008, laying bare the story of a true renaissance woman.
