Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was born in Jamestown, New York, in 1940. My mother, Desirée Hunt, was of French-English descent, with a touch of Irish from her father’s side that showed in her porcelain-fine English complexion and auburn hair. I was adored by my parents.
#2 I was four when my father died. I remember the moment my mother told me, and the picture fell from the wall. I was very superstitious about birds ever since. I wouldn’t buy anything with a print of a bird, and I wouldn’t stay in a hotel room with bird pictures or wallpaper.
#3 I was an only child, and it was such a happy, relaxed time for me. But my mother was miserable away from her children, so in a year or so, she returned to Jamestown. She’d been a widow for about three years when she married a big ugly-handsome Swede named Ed Peterson.
#4 I was sent to live with the Petersons, who were both quite elderly. They were religious, and I was punished for any wrongdoing with solitary confinement in my room or being sent to bed before the sun went down in summer.

#1

I was born in Jamestown, New York, in 1940. My mother, Desirée Hunt, was of French-English descent, with a touch of Irish from her father’s side that showed in her porcelain-fine English complexion and auburn hair. I was adored by my parents.

#2

I was four when my father died. I remember the moment my mother told me, and the picture fell from the wall. I was very superstitious about birds ever since. I wouldn’t buy anything with a print of a bird, and I wouldn’t stay in a hotel room with bird pictures or wallpaper.

#3

I was an only child, and it was such a happy, relaxed time for me. But my mother was miserable away from her children, so in a year or so, she returned to Jamestown. She’d been a widow for about three years when she married a big ugly-handsome Swede named Ed Peterson.

#4

I was sent to live with the Petersons, who were both quite elderly. They were religious, and I was punished for any wrongdoing with solitary confinement in my room or being sent to bed before the sun went down in summer.

#5

I had a difficult time getting used to the idea that I deserved success. I was so grateful to have a mother again. DeDe still feels guilty about the time we were apart, but I understand that circumstances forced our separation.

#6

I had eight and a half years of a richly satisfying family life with my grandparents. I loved every inch of the little three-bedroom house on Eighth Street in Celoron, which held first two and then three families.

#7

I have a strong conservative, Puritan streak. I’ve always known right from wrong, and I’d like to know how I learned this to make sure my kids do. I’m the most conservative member of my family.

#8

I grew up next to an amusement park, which was very bad for my development because it gave me a sense of freedom and permissiveness. I am not easily taken in by anyone.

#9

I had a special place in my heart for my grandmother, who had uterine cancer and was not going to get well. She got weaker and weaker, and towards the end, she lay all the time in her big mahogany bed in the front parlor.

#10

I loved having my grandmother around all the time, but I understood why that was not possible. She was always working, and she never complained about it. I miss having that close relationship with my own children.

#11

My childhood was full of adventures and challenges, but it was not backbreaking.
