    Synopsis

    This unique autobiography begins with McCarthy’s recollections of an indulgent, idyllic childhood tragically altered by the death of her parents in the influenza epidemic of 1918. Tempering the need to fictionalize for the sake of a good story with the need for honesty, she creates interchapters that tell the reader what she has inferred or invented. Photographs.

    Annotation

    An autobiogrphical account of Miss McCarthy's early years, each of the chapters followed by the author's appraisal of her approach to the material.
