‘Courage in the face of life’s difficulties’

Book cover for Eternally Naïve: A Reluctant Autobiography. Black background, yellow and grey text, and two partial face photos. Set on free background with photo of author Jill Dobbe. This a true story of resilience, survival, and perseverance.

Profound thanks to Jill Dobbe for her kind and observant review of Eternally Naïve: A Reluctant Autobiography.

‘This is a candid and well-written account of the author’s difficult life experiences from childhood on. Her strength and determination were overwhelming as she worked several jobs, moved around often, and survived many misfortunes. Her courage in the face of life’s difficulties was awe-inspiring and a testament to what mothers will do to keep their children happy and safe.

As I read this book, I felt the author relaying her story in a personal and friendly manner, as if we were having tea together. Thank you to her son, Peter, who continued her work after she sadly passed away. I considered T.R. an online friend and got to know her as a fellow author who greatly impressed me with her kindness.’
