What made Patterson a successful writer and broadcaster? The odds were stacked against her: childhood overshadowed by her sister's schizophrenia, painful, incapacitating disease, recurring breast cancer, the deaths of beloved family members and the inability to find a loving partner. Scouring through copious family records Patterson reconstructs the passages of her courageous and moving evolution from facing adversities to – thank heavens! – happiness. I ended up full of admiration and affection for this wise, wìtty, intelligent woman.
