Stepping was published the year I was divorced. I got a letter from a mutual acquaintance who'd read the novel and was furious at me for having an affair. I considered telling her what Sylvia Plath said: Fiction is the lie that tells the truth.

Congratulations on your long and successful writing career. I have nothing but admiration for all the women who wrote in the face of the near total dismissal of the female voice. Thank you for paving the way for the women writers who came after you. And in an interesting coincidence (but maybe not!) over at my blog, I have a guest blog from your daughter announcing the publication of her debut novel. Oh, how I love this First Sale story.
