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.

I have been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark for many years. Over the years I have read many of her books, but I have found this one the most entertaining to date. This book brought me to tears on more than one occasion. This is a truly inspiring human story of love and loss that many people will relate to. I applaud her determination in making all of her dreams come true.

This really inspired me as a writer.
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!
Well written and interesting autobiography. I enjoyed this more than I did her books.
Very inspiring book. If you like Mary Higgens Clark, you are going to love this book. If you have never read Mary Higgens Clark, you are still going to love this book. It reads like her best novel, only this is her true life story. Pictures are beautiful also.
Autobiographical memoir written by suspense writer Mary Higgins Clark. She had an interesting life. I enjoyed this book.
Mary Higgins Clark received many rejections before she became a successful mystery writer, in her down to earth easy telling memoir she tells of her struggle to become a writer, marry the man of her dreams, raising her children after his death and meeting the newest love of her life. Nice easy going and fairly quick read.
Great read.
This is agreat book! Very endearing
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.
vary quick read. good book.
A memoir of the life of famed author Mary Higgins Clark.
This was a very interesting, quick read about the growing-up years of a great author. When I ordered it, I expected it to be a book about poverty and hardship, and although it was not a book about growing up privileged, it was not the sorrowful book I imagined.
This book was a good book, and one I would encourage anyone who likes to read a book by Mary Higgins Clark add to their reading list.

I enjoyed Clark's earliest books, more suspense, less romance, and also enjoyed her personal story very much. She has had a long and interesting life to draw on for her stories.
From the Dust Jacket: "In her long awaited memoir, Mary Higgins Clark, America's beloved and bestselling Queen of Suspense, recounts the early experiences that shaped her as a person and influenced her as a writer..."
