To know the name Judy Blume is to know and love literature. Her influential novels turned classics including 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret'; 'Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing'; 'Deenie'; and 'Summer Sisters', touched the lives of tens of millions of readers. For more than 55 years her work has done something revolutionary: it rewired the world's expectations of what literature for young people can be - frank, candid, earthy, and unafraid to show the messier sides of humanity. But little has been written about the woman behind the persona and the unlikely journey of her literary ascension. In this book, Mark Oppenheimer pens a beautiful, multidimensional portrait of the acclaimed author through extensive interviews with Blume herself, invaluable access to her papers and correspondence, and thoughtful analysis of Blume's beloved novels, including early, unpublished works that shed light on the pathbreaking writer she would become.
