Langbeschreibung
Set against the seismic events of the twentieth century, "The Magic of Believing" is an inspiring family memoir of hardship, courage, hope and triumph. In 1940, as bombs fell on London, Charlotte Lillian McIldowie ("Moe") boarded a steamer with her daughter, Angela, and twin boys, Edgar and Bruce, to cross the Atlantic. Dodging icebergs and German U-Boats, they eventually arrived unscathed in the United States, the first leg of a lifelong adventure from London to Broadway to Hollywood populated by the most creative and fascinating personalities of the day.
