Manhattan Memoir

Three beautifully written memoirs all come together in one enchanting volume in Manhattan Memoir. Mary Cantwell’s first selection in the trilogy, American Girl, engages readers with her youthful endeavors growing up in a small New England town; her second, Manhattan, When I was Young, recounts her early career, her children and her marriage as it begins to fall apart. Lastly, in Speaking with Strangers, readers find Cantwell alone as a single mother, struggling to make ends meet in the Big Apple. Surrounded by friends and with a thriving career, she still has personal troubles. This autobiographical trilogy is a moving tale of triumph and tenacity that will delight readers.
