This was an excellent book. It told the story of Charmain Kitteridge and her upbringing and how she became enamored with Jack London. Jack London is a local celebrity since his home is in Glen Ellen. This book credits Charmain for being an editor and strong supporter of Jack London’s work. Their relationship was extraordinary. Although Charmain was disappointed in the fact that Jack would drink to much, she was able to have a marvelous collaboration and unique connection with Jack when they would travel by ship.
Some parts of the biography were unbelievable, like when Jack & Charmain took to sea with the Snark with inexperienced crew members …on their way to Hawaii.
I highly recommend this book for people interested in the historical events of writers in the Bay Area in the early 1900’s, and for readers who are interested in women finding their own way and navigating their own paths.
