"Even as a young girl, growing up in the Bronx, Mary Higgins Clark knew she wanted to be a writer. The gift of storytelling was a part of her Irish ancestry, so it followed naturally that she would later use her sharp eye, keen intelligence, and inquisitive nature to create stories about the people and things she observed."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence
"My first conscious memory is of being three years old and looking down at my new baby brother with a mixture of curiosity and distress."
Work Description
Lively memior of mystery author Mary Higgins Clark. She had been a secretary, stewardess, copywriter, radio writer, and bestselling author. The book has a humorous touch even when discussing tragic events like her father's early death and her own widowhood.
It is not a stretch to class this work with Russell Baker's memoirs.
You do not need to be a fan of Higgins Clark's work to enjoy this volume. I have never read a thing she has written, yet I finished this book in one sitting.
