4.9/5 (25684 ratings)

Description:On July 4, 1954, Marilyn Sheppard, wife of prominent Cleveland osteopath Dr. Sam Sheppard, is bludgeoned to death. Prudence Holmes is a rebellious, creative, six-year-old living in nearby, ultra-conservative Bexley, Oh, when her father becomes obsessed with the "crime of the century" leading a group of neighbors working to bring Sheppard to justice. The author joins her father on this crusade--it becomes the happiest time of her life, and the crime haunts them both for the rest of their days.Prudence (or Tina, her preferred name) becomes an existential, dateless teenager, dreaming of acting on Broadway and discussing literature in Parisian salons, while her bigoted mother forces her through charm school and society functions. Finally escaping Ohio, she heads to Carnegie Mellon to study acting, catch up with the sixties, and embark on the quest to become both sexy and an artiste. After graduating, she finally makes it to New York, finding employment driving a taxi, babysitting, and, eventually, acting. The memoir leaves the author at the brink of what will be a successful acting career, armed with a new understanding of her father, gained after his death. Packed with intelligent, realistic dialog, humorous narration, and subtle political commentary, this intimate memoir is the story of one woman's struggle toward childhood dreams fulfilled, played out against the background of an America in the midst of great change.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
