Crazy Stories of My 141 Jobs: Lessons Learned from the 1970s

One crazy story after another is what happens when a young, naïve woman holds 141 jobs spanning 57 years. Cynthia Attar, author, reveals the immense struggles and inspired highlights of an ordinary girl growing up in the 1970's. The story begins with Cynthia as a proud 12-year-old ambitiously entering the job market by picking strawberries in the fields of Skagit Valley, WA. This morphed into an adulthood filled with a variety of jobs; alcoholic wildness; homelessness; a passion for horses, mules, and farming-and much more.

Fumbling through life, Cynthia discovers innocence, then street smarts; big time insecurity verses pride in a job well done; humor in past trauma; failures peppered with a few successes; the choice to plow through versus giving up too soon; life lessons learned; and, finally, quirky, famous quotes at the end of each chapter for levity.

This book is a humorous, relatable, must-read autobiography of a not-so-normal girl.
