Summary:
"Gianna Angelopoulos--known in her home country simply as Gianna--has written a memoir that is as much about
Greece
's journey as her own. From her childhood in Crete, to law school in Thessaloniki, to
Athens
, where she overcame male-dominated legal and political cultures to help redefine public service in
Greece
, Gianna worked her way into becoming one of the most respected women in Greek public life. Balancing motherhood, business, and a place in the upper echelons of world society, Gianna never lost her passion for public service and brought the
2004
Olympic
Games
back from the brink of catastrophe to what was later called an unforgettable dream
games
. Her life, her Cinderella love story, and her intensity of will are equally unforgettable. From stories of handing out basil seeds on the streets of
Athens
to entertaining royalty and political leaders in London, Zurich, and
Athens
, My Greek Drama captures the burning ambition of the rebellious girl from the island of Crete who lit the
Olympic
torch. Her story should help rekindle the spirit of the Greek people, and of every person who has ever struggled to change the world. The world had doubted
Greece
's ability to successfully stage this global event. Little did she know that a few years later her country would abandon the lessons of the Olympics and become embroiled in a political and economic crisis that would devastate
Greece
, and threaten the economic security of Europe"--Provided by publisher.
