Day at a Time. Is a story about how Mary Anne Barothy became a Doris Day fan as a young girl and traveled to California to meet her and became her secretary for four years. The author takes the reader on a "sentimental journey" that had Ms. Barothy wearing many hats while working for Miss Day. Most of all, it is about a young woman's dream-come-true job and is an inspiration for others to follow their dreams. Click picture to view excerpts.
