Babette

"Babette: The Many Lives, Two Deaths and Double Kidnapping of Dr. Ellsworth" is the story of Ross Eliot's early years in Portland, Oregon, when he stumbled upon an unusual living arrangement with an eccentric history professor. In exchange for quarters in the pantry of her elegant home, Eliot served as companion, driver, confidant and occasional medic for the flamboyant and worldly septuagenarian. His account of those years pulls the reader through religious, cultural and historical tales laced with intrigue, felony and mystery.
