We now know her son Elon Musk through PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX. From this example, her children were not afraid to move and preceded her to Canada. Maye courageously ended up moving with her children, Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca, putting their safety first.Įvery time Maye moved she had to start again, gaining new qualifications as a dietitian and new friends. This man was an absolute control freak who still tried to control their family after the divorce. I can’t see why any man should feel so small that he has to stand on someone to feel taller. When she was allowed to divorce by a change in the law, he threatened her and their children appallingly.

Maye speaks in a calm voice as she tells of her early work as a model, her success and happiness, and the marriage she did not want to a husband who began physically abusing her at once. The subtitle of this book, 'Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success,' further adds to the depth of the novel.

Through many moves and career changes, degrees, and childrearing, she largely supported herself. A WOMAN MAKES A PLAN is a great title, based on the Boer proverb, 'a farmer makes a plan.' Maye tells us of her childhood with two adventurous Canadians who settled in South Africa and raised a resourceful family. While I hadn’t previously heard of this author, I can assure you that the best day to start reading Maye Musk’s autobiography is today.
