Description
A memoir that charts the life and writing of Mary Lee Settle, author of over twenty books, including her masterwork, The Beulah Quintet. In this personal account, she reflects on how her early experiences shaped her literary career.
Settle's story begins in 1938, when her mother sends her to a theater apprenticeship, setting her on a path that would lead to uncompromising writing and numerous publications. The author recounts the adventures of her life, from the glamour of New York during the World's Fair to the trials of the post-war literary world.
This memoir offers a unique glimpse into the life of a writer who has spent fifty years crafting stories that explore the human condition. With its engaging narrative and insightful reflections, it is a thoroughly modern Canterbury Tale that will inform and alarm readers alike.
