There is no getting away from it, life on an island is different from life in the St. Francis Hotel but you can get used to it, can even grow to like it. 'C'est la guerre, ' we used to say looking wistfully toward the lights of the big comfortable warm city just across the way. Now, as November (or July) settles around the house like a wet sponge, we say placidly to each other, 'I love it here. I wouldn't live anywhere else.'\" Betty MacDonald's final memoir, \u003ci\u003eOnions in the Stew\u003c\/i\u003e recounts her second attempt at farm-living, this time on Washington's then-remote Vashon Island along with her second husband, Don MacDonald, and her two teenage daughters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetty MacDonald (1907-1958), the best-selling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Egg and I\u003c\/i\u003e and the classic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle children's books, burst onto the literary scene shortly after the end of World War II. \u003ci\u003eThe Plague and I\u003c\/i\u003e takes up Betty's delightful misadventures where \u003ci\u003eThe Egg and I\u003c\/i\u003e left off.
