A yearning for love and adventure evolves into a search for the meaning of life. Tony had a passion for travel. What started out as an innocent pursuit for adventure took many turns: through love, tragedy, and disillusionment; and awakened his sleeping soul, setting him on a path of aspiration. THE DIARY OF LADY X, a novel in two volumes, is filled with actual accounts. The story has appeal for a wide ranging reader-ship who will find its characters to be engaging, and its story to be intriguing.

Who Was the Lady?

She was a small ship that had sailed

the biggest ocean in the world.

She was an innocent of twenty and

an actress.

She was a gifted dancer and artist

of the striptease.

She was a teenaged prostitute to keep

her family from poverty.

She was a mother and diplomat's wife

in need of love.

She was of the lowest caste and in love

with a man of the highest caste.

She was a woman of dignity looking to

the education of others.

She was lying half naked in a gutter in Calcutta begging for money for her cremation.

She was a proud mother and still innocent.

Most of all she was a lady.
