As a four-year old, she could read road maps, and made deliveries for her father's pharmacy, including sleeping pills to Marilyn Monroe while she was in town filming "Niagara".

Ms Gildiner has entwined humor, truth, enlightment and uncomprimising life into her story. I believe that everyone will find a bit of themselves in "Too Close To The Falls."

Unforgettable
This memoir is a kick in the pants. At each reading, I found myself laughing out loud. Her voice stays with you long after finishing the last page. I regret not having sat next to her in school- what a hoot! I am going to buy multiple copies to give to my friends- I want to keep my own copy to remember how much I enjoyed hearing from this unusual, clever person. I am glad to know she is publishing a sequel.

Too Close to the Falls
I am reading this book on a recommendation from a friend. She read the book at her book club.
This book is the easiest reading I've ever had the pleasure to read.
Keeps your attention from start to finish.
