X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Life is full of downs and ups . . .</p>\n<
 p>Dolly Jamieson is not homeless\, she&rsquo\;s merely between permanent a
 bodes. The 78-year-old spends her days keeping warm at the local library\,
  where she enjoys sparring with the officious head librarian and helping h
 erself to the free morning tea. It&rsquo\;s not so bad\, really.</p>\n<p>B
 ut it&rsquo\;s certainly a far cry from the 1960s\, when this humble girl 
 from Geelong became an international star of the stage. As the acclaimed l
 ead in the Broadway production of The Rose of France\, all Dolly&rsquo\;s 
 dreams had come true.</p>\n<p>So how\, in her old age\, did she end up her
 e?</p>\n<p>When Jane Leveson\, a well-to-do newcomer to the library\, show
 s an interest in Dolly\, the pair strike up an unlikely friendship &ndash\
 ; and soon Jane is offering to help Dolly write her memoirs.</p>\n<p>Yet D
 olly can detect a deep sadness in the younger woman&rsquo\;s eyes. Perhaps
  by working together to recount the glittering highs\, devastating lows an
 d tragic secrets of Dolly&rsquo\;s life\, both women can finally face thei
 r pasts and start to heal . . .</p>\n<p>After working for many years as a 
 teacher (and a brief stint as a professional organiser &ndash\; before Mar
 ie Kondo made it cool)\, Lisa Ireland is now a full-time writer.</p>\n<p>F
 ormerly of Geelong\, Lisa now lives with her husband in a small town in Gi
 ppsland\, Victoria. When not writing\, she spends her days mentoring aspir
 ing authors\, drinking coffee\, and playing minion to her incredibly spoil
 ed dog\, Lulu.</p>\n<p>Lisa's seventh novel\,&nbsp\;<em>The One and Only D
 olly Jamieson</em>\, will be published in January 2023.</p>\nhttps://grlc.
