Review

“This book is a Marie Kondo-like lesson in how to collate and save records of the bits and pieces of a loved one’s life. Sally Phipps had a life history that is worth recording, and this book provides interesting information on Sally and a career in early film and theater as well as a how-to on how such a story can be preserved.”—Amazon.
