AT HOME IN THE WORLD by Joyce MaynardReviewed by Nordeen Morello, Book'Em...take our poll!
(March 2, 2006)
At Home In The World is a memoir. Joyce Maynard writes, "I
wanted to tell the story of a real woman with all her flaws. I hoped, by doing
that, others might feel less ashamed of their own unmentionable feelings and
secrets." In 1972, as an 18 year old college freshman, Maynard appeared on the
cover of The New York Times Magazine: her reflections on "life" was their
feature article. This article catapulted her into a correspondence with the literary
icon J.D. Salinger. By that summer, she had moved in with him.
