SAN RAFAEL, Calif., June 12, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The hectic and unpredictable elements of a big city's environment can be quite overwhelming, especially to those who grew up in rural areas. One small town girl went through an enduring journey adjusting to life in the city, which turned into an unforgettable adventure. This is the story that readers are about to witness as Xlibris releases Stumbling to the Stars, a new book authored by Jeanne Koelsch.
Stumbling to the Stars follows the true story of a young girl growing up in a small coal mining town in Pennsylvania in the late 1930's. She describes humorous and heartfelt events, some of which were tragic, that impacted the lives of her family and their neighbors. Her dream to live in New York City is realized as she relates unusual and sometimes startling incidents. This story also reveals a scintillating adventure in Cuba, as well as a harrowing episode being marooned in a snowstorm. The author's tenacity, coupled with a love of music and art, led to an interesting and lucrative career as a caricaturist while meeting and drawing famous people and celebrities. From the first page until the last, Stumbling to the Stars will give readers a true sense of change as dramatized with the difference between growing up in a small town and living in a big city.
