Description:  261 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 22 cm Summary:  "At twenty-five, as her wedding date approached, [the author] began to feel trapped by the unsettling idea that it was hard to be at once married and free. She wanted her life to be different. She wanted her marriage to be different. And she found in the strangely captivating story of another restless young woman determined to live without constraints both an enticement and a challenge, the American child prodigy novelist Barbara Newhall Follett who in December 1939, when she was not much older than Laura, walked out of her apartment and vanished without a trace. A riveting mystery and a piercing exploration of marriage and convention that asks deep and uncomfortable questions: Why do we give up on our childhood dreams? Is marriage a golden noose? Must we find ourselves in the same row houses telling our kids to behave? Laura Smith's writing has appeared in The New York Times, Slate, and Mother Jones. She lives in Oakland, California"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
