Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "I loved Gladys' book. What an amazing woman. I loved her friendship, resourcefulness, and talent to overcome obstacles in order to get things done. Gladys never complained about anything. Always cheerful and lots of energy." -John Sculley, Former Apple, Inc. CEO "When I moved to Woodside in 1975, Gladys Martines was one of the first people I met.I found out that if you want something done and done right, you call Gladys." -Larry Schreiber, Friend and Former 49er Player In 1936, the three-year-old daughter of California crop pickers catches on fire. The child, of Puerto Rican descent, sustains second degree burns on fifty percent of her body. Massive scarring results. She refuses to attend school. Yet picking crops teaches her to work with numbers. Her first jobs beyond the fields involve numbers but not reading. Through clever innovation, she purchases her first home with a twenty-five-dollar bond, then learns how to buy and sell real estate, read and write, and build luxurious homes. This woman-Gladys Martines-becomes a multi-millionaire. My Life: Can You Believe It! tells her amazing memoir. This item is printed on demand.
