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.
