Ruth Gordon's memoir recounts her life journey from Switzerland to England, where her passion for ballet led her to meet Simon Gordon, a talented pianist and conductor. Their whirlwind romance culminated in marriage just weeks after their meeting in 1978. Unbeknownst to her at the time, Simon had been battling schizophrenia since childhood. The narrative also touches on the challenges and joys of motherhood, particularly following the birth of their son, Matthew, in 1980.
