Designed Life -Autobiographical Stories of a Dracula-Baby immigrant

The Dracula-Baby's is a girl born in Transylvania, Romania, and her name is Ileana.
A loved and pampered Daddy's girl-with a Masters' Degree in architecture- facing socio-political conflicts in her native communist Romania, Ileana chooses to leave everything behind and build a new life for herself in the New World.
Written in the first person POV, sprinkled with humorously flavored bits and at times self-deprecating, the stories encompass her entire life -to date- starting in 1958 when she was three year old.

Short, bitter-sweet chronological autobiographical stories, follow the main character from the whimsy of old Transylvanian life- with it's flavor of magic realism- to the world of adventurous and unlimited possibilities opened to her by the choices she made.Without any support system, legal papers or money, she is confronted with life-threatening circumstances. She not only survived the vici ssitudes, but she fulfilled her dreams and hopes through hard work, endurance, and tenacity.
Although she is an accomplished woman architect, the autobiography is mostly about memorable moments of her personal and professional life, her soul and values and less about the work achievements.

It is story of raw guts, courage and survival, but also of love of life, confidence, success and strength of character.
The book is intended to be inspirational and motivate people in pursuit of their dreams.
It will change the way you think about your own life and destiny.
The book is meant to encourage people to create the life they want, not just dream of it. Destiny emerges from the choices we make in life. Your Destiny is in your hands!The book title and the subtitle: Designed Life- Autobiographic Stories of a Dracula-Baby Immigrant.
