I swear - this woman has more facets than an over-cut diamond! Her brain must be a wonderful place to live. Our experiences make us what we are - hers have made her - and let her show us! Very interesting woman

Clark tells about the challenges she faced growing up during the depression in the Bronx and how her hopes of becoming a writer eventually turned into reality. This book was interesting, especially if you're a fan of M. H. Clark.

This is a wonderful little book of Mary Higgins Clark's memoirs...stories and anecdotes of her life as a child and of the experiences in her life that shaped her as a person and influenced her as a writer. A quick and easy read.

A short, sweet look into the early life of author Mary Higgins Clark. Family photos are sprinkled throughout, and they help bring all of the characters to life. An enjoyable read, a very pleasant way to pass the time.

Outstanding memoir. Humor, hardship, love. A snapshot of growing up in the Bronx long ago. Marrying her sweetheart. Facing life as a young widow of 5 children. Working hard. Losing many she loves. Includes how to be a good writer, how to win friends and influence people, how to look on the bright side.... Highly recommended, and I'm not even a Mary Higgins Clark fan.

This was the first book by this author that I have read. I couldn't put it down! It was a great book that talked all about what her life was like from the age of three up until she had five children of her own. I definitely recommend this book. I'll have to read more of her novels!
