"Florence's father was a dirt-poor tobacco tenant farmer who was nearly fifty years old when he married Florence's twenty-five-year-old mother and was nearly seventy when Florence was born. Florence's childhood was full of deprivation and abandonment. Her father was an alcoholic at a time when there was no rehab or help for the disease. Their home rarely had electricity or running water. When she was twelve, Florence's mother left the family to work in Cleveland and never returned."
I'm a Brady Bunch nerd and enjoyed reading about Florence's life and her quick rise to fame in her late teens/early twenties. What a story! It was written well and an enjoyable read.
