About This Item
USA: Pocket Books: Simon & Schuster, 2003. Paperback. used-Good condition. in "Kitchen Privileges: A Memoir, by Mary Higgins Clark," the author of 27 bestselling novels, tells her story. She has shifted gears and written a memoir that speaks directly to readers. The touching collection of anecdotes begins with a Depression-era childhood in the Bronx lacking in money but rich with love. The author's mother, who told everyone, "Mary is very gifted... [she's] going to be a successful writer," supplemented her income by renting out rooms with "kitchen privileges," and raised her children with selfless heroism, proving a shining example when Clark became a young widow, left to bring up five children on her own. Clark charts her literary road frankly, pointing out the numerous rejection slips and the failure of her first book due to a misleading, uncommercial title. It's typical of her optimism that she considered it a triumph ("I knew... I had what it took to actually write a book"). This memoir shows what can be done when someone pursues her dreams, remains action-oriented and fights to overcome enormous obstacles. Photos.
