French Twist, A Memoir
French Twist–A Tale of Travel, Testing and Triumph
This memoir is my true life story.
It is an incredible story, or so I’ve been told. I am not really one to brag, but many people have told me I should write a book. And so I did, with the help of a ghostwriter.
My name is Janine Winters and I have gone through a lot in my eighty plus years. In this story I tell you about it. Maybe you will relate it to some of your own experiences. Certainly I hope that you can draw some inspiration and maybe value from the lessons I learned and share in my story.
I mainly wrote my memoir so my family will know me better and to get insight into my journey.
As my ghostwriter, T. M. Gilbert relates, “French Twist is a remarkable memoir of resilience, faith, and deep bonds that endure through time. It offers a revelatory glimpse of a life in all its complexity, challenge, and triumph.”
"At every turn, however, Janine’s resilience prevails. Her enterprising spirit, manifest in the great diversity of jobs she successfully holds, navigates her through impasses to a life that fulfills her. Let her search for this life of meaning and lasting love be an inspiration for readers embarking on a quest to live their own lives fully."
I grew up with a father with a criminal history, a stalwart and inspiring mother, an intelligent and generous brother, and a strong and precocious sister. In the face of conflicts with my father, I moved with my mother, brother, and sister from an independence-seeking Morocco to an equally turbulent Algeria. There I discovered more about myself and began forging a life of my own.
Over time I found love and experienced the birth of children. We learned to adapt to ever-changing circumstances and unexpected difficulties. There was a lot of travel and challenges and eventually many life lessons were learned.
