The story begins as she is born to her poor parents. She eventually goes to school, but must drop out to support herself by taking a series of odd jobs. Along the way, she has several affairs with a variety of men--not all of them nice. Time passes and she writes an autobiographical novel. She then continued writing until she died in 1951. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
