About the Book
Join Polly in her adventures from the 1930s to 2022 as she learns life lessons "outside the box" of social expectations and conventions but discovers the joys of her own hero's journey. "My book takes you on my hero's journey by sometimes pointing out the opportunities I failed to heed because I was trapped in my own cultural limitations and conventions. Perhaps it offers help in identifying and escaping yours."
Readers will be drawn to how her real-life heroes deeply touched her and guided her in following her own hero's journey. She lovingly pays tribute to her ancestors, parents, late sister, husband, and other family members, dear friends, and mentors.

About the Creator
"I'm thrilled to support my 87-year-old mother, Polly Spessard Cooper, in publishing her memoir, Out of the Box to Dance to My Song. She has enthusiastically devoted the past ten years to writing and remembering her fascinating life stories about how she learned to creatively live 'outside the box' and to follow the call of her own hero's journey. She also lovingly pays tribute to the real-life heroes of her life: her ancestors, parents, sister, late husband, other family members, dear friends, and mentors. I'm honored to have assisted with her final manuscript as editor, and I would like to thank my sister, Maguire Neblett, for contributing the stunning collection of family photos (a 22-page gallery that spans eight decades) as well as the cover design. And I'm pleased to have worked closely with book designer/producer, Andrew Grachuk, of Jingothecat.com." -- Val Walker
