Summary:  "In this inspiring memoir, drawing on her personal diaries and journals for the years 1970 to 1988, the award-winning essayist, playwright, poet and author of the bestselling novel What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day reminisces on the art of juggling marriage, motherhood, and politics while working to become a successful writer. There was a time when success seemed like a dream. Cleage takes readers back to the 1970s and '80s, retracing her struggles to hone her craft amidst personal and professional tumult. Though born (in 1948) and raised in Detroit, it was in Atlanta that Cleage encountered the forces that would most shape her experience. Married to Michael Lomax, now head of the United Negro College Fund, she worked with Maynard Jackson, Atlanta's first African-American mayor. This book charts not only the political fights, but also the pull she began to feel to focus on her own passions, including writing -- a pull that led her away from Lomax as she grappled with ideas of feminism and self-fulfillment. We follow her journey from a columnist for a local weekly (bought by Larry Flynt) to a playwright and Hollywood script writer, an artist at the crossroads of culture and politics whose circle came to include luminaries like Richard Pryor, Avery Brooks, Phylicia Rashad, Shirley Franklin, and Jesse Jackson. By 1998, when her novel What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day was chosen as an Oprah Book Club selection, Cleage had long since arrived as a writer of renown.
