Resumen del Editor

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.

Along with all Americans, citizens of the Bronx suffered during the Depression. So when Mary's father died, her mother opened the family home to boarders and placed a discreet sign next to the front door that read, "Furnished Rooms. Kitchen Privileges."

The family's struggle to make ends meet; her days as a scholarship student in an exclusive girls academy; the death of her beloved older brother in World War II; her marriage to Warren Clark; writing stories at the kitchen table; finally selling the first one for $100, after six years and 40 rejections, all these experiences figure into Kitchen Privileges.

Her husband's untimely death left her a widowed mother of five young children. Determined to care for her family and to make a career for herself, she wrote scripts for a radio show. In her spare time she began writing novels. Where Are The Children? became an international best seller and launched her career.

When asked if she might consider giving up writing for a life of leisure, Marv has replied, "Never. To be happy for a year, win the lottery. To be happy for life, do what you love."

A great read

I’ve always been Hey Mary Higgins Clark fan and I have read all of her novels. I hadn’t read this one yet, and with her recent passing I decided to give it a try and I enjoyed it so much. Mary never disappoints!

I’ve read and re-read your books

Mary my dear....thank you for using your God given talent to writing ....and you’ve kept your books clean and not gruesome. I truly have read and re-read them through many years. My next re-read for the third time is Mount Vernon Love Story. Blessings

A Heart Warming Memoir - Five Stars!

I enjoyed Mary’s memoir very much! Not only did she grab my heartstrings of the days gone by and of her life as a girl of the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and beyond; hearing her tell of those days in her own voice was an emotional experienced or me. Her tone and endearing NY accent is the voice of my own mother, now deceased. Her memoir was a treat to listen to as it gave me an earful of stories I no longer get to hear since my mother is gone.
Rest In Peace Mary! I’m sure you and my mother love the sweet “air” of heaven better than the air in the Bronx! Be blessed!
