Don’t we all have mixed emotions about our mothers? That sentiment echoes loudly—and often hilariously— Luby was a mother like no other: extraordinarily talented, yet extraordinarily difficult to live with. She was many things: a skilled journalist, a popular book author, club woman extraordinaire— Rosemary grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When she set out to write a book strictly about herself, she found daunting circumstances of her own (Luby went so far as to rewrite Rosemary’s ninth-grade autobiography assignment). Originally intending to publish a selection of personal essays, Rosemary discovered that Mother popped up on every page. Looming. Encouraging. Warning. Always the Protagonist, the Star, the Heroine, the Antagonist—and sometimes, from the viewpoint of a loving but ornery daughter, the Villain.

Rosemary Mild is an award-winning essayist and coauthor of mystery novels and stories with her husband, Larry.

A graduate of Smith College, she is a longtime Maryland resident who now resides in Hawaii with her husband. End
