STOP THE WHEEL, I WANT TO GET OFF!
Book will be released Oct./Nov. 2008

FOREWORD

"When anyone discovers I'm the predecessor to Vanna White, they often look puzzled and ask, "You gave up Wheel Of Fortune to help complete strangers! WHY? This book will answer that question.

It is more than an answer to a burning question. It's a diary of my unorthodox, yet very fortunate life and career with all the twists and turns along the way. All of the experiences in my life have been used to transform me and shape my way of thinking. I truly hope my story will bring some measure of hope, comfort and insight to all who choose to plunge into this magical journey with me.

I know you've heard the term, "All that glitters is not gold." Well, I'm living proof of that. Heaven and hell aren't just places you go when you die. They exist in our own lives on a daily basis and are played out according to the choices we make.

My life has been very eventful to say the least, from working with leprosy in India to AIDS with Rock Hudson. I have had the privilege of knowing the rich and famous, but have also been close to the down and out. Regardless of a person's station in life, I am more intrigued with their character than the size of their bank account.

This journey we call life is a long series of lessons. If we listen carefully, and sometimes, that's a big "IF", we can learn. I have always learned best by example - the good, the bad and the ugly. If a new challenge presented itself, I would give it a try. I learned early on to face my fears and that is probably one of the best life lessons I know.

Everyone has a story to tell . . . and this is mine."

Dr. Susan will share her life as the original hostess on "Wheel Of Fortune" where she was the first woman to be nominated for an Emmy on a game show.  Dr. Susan has been privileged to experience life on every level imaginable . . . from famous celebrities in Hollywood, working with leprosy patients in Third World countries with former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, AIDS patients (including her dear friend, Rock Hudson), working as a Chaplain Intern with Dr. John Stehlin in Houston with cancer patients, receiving a Ph.D. in Psychology, and counseling with survivors and families at Columbine High School in Colorado following the tragic shootings.

        Dr. Susan has been called a "Goodwill Ambassador to the World" and that seems to be a fitting title.  Describing her life as full is an understatement.  Dr. Susan will share how she has learned (and continues to learn) to deal with the realities of life we all face.
