 Misadventures - Sylvia Smith
 Misadventures - Sylvia Smith ... anecdotes that, taken together, reveals the ups and downs of one woman's life.

Sylvia Smith is neither an actress or a popstar or a politician. She doesn’t have a starry story or a rags to riches tale to tell, she has not had an amazing career or done great charitable works, infact she has really done very little with her life apart from live - she is an ordinary, everyday person (although she once dated a member of the Dave Clarke 5 before they got famous and he left the band)!
