A Woman Makes a Plan

More about the book

The international supermodel shares personal stories and lessons from a life of "living dangerously--carefully." At seventy-one, Maye Musk is a fashionable, charming supermodel with a close-knit circle of family and friends. However, her journey was not always easy; she became a single mom at thirty-one, faced poverty while raising three children, dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model, and overcame ageism in the industry. Throughout her life, she established a respected career as a dietician while starting anew in eight cities across three countries and two continents. With an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude, she achieved global success, embracing what she calls the "prime of her life." Maye offers frank and practical advice on how choices made in each decade can yield surprising rewards. In her narrative, she imparts hard-earned wisdom on various aspects of life: career success comes from hard work, family dynamics require allowing loved ones their independence, health has no quick fixes, and adventure necessitates openness to discovery. While life's unpredictability is inevitable, one can still create the life they desire at any age—it's all about making a plan.
