Lovey Childs: A Philadelphian’s Story
John O’Hara
‘Lovey could hardly wait to become a member of the adult world, and she did all she could to hasten her entrance into it—‘ In the midst of the feverish 1920’s, young Lovey’s growing-up is indeed a sight to behold. But it’s also a time of paint and heartbreak. It is the time when her mother is locked up in an asylum as a backward lesbian, when Lovey herself marries the wealthy & worthless Sky Childs, when she spends a night with a girl reporter on the dude ranch where she is waiting for her divorce, when she spends a night with a men who is murdered hours later in Harlem, and an afternoon with a priest who hangs himself the next day—. It s a time when she tries almost everything, and finally finds out who she is.’
