Monkey Business

More about the book

In 1980, Harry Schmoll, Jr., discovered his late mother's secret diary. She had recorded daily entries in her little book during the 1930s, the time of the Great Depression. Much to his surprise, Harry learned for the first time that his mother had been a showgirl. Suddenly, he understood why she had such a great interest in show business and the movies. Also, the diary recorded the loves in the life of his mother, Margie Roth. Harry though this would make an interesting story. Also, since the diary portrays life during the Depression era, Harry decided to publish the diary as a book. All of Margie's secrets are revealed in Asecon Diary of Margie Roth, 1933-37.
