Quote

My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.

My mother and my father divorced during the time that my father was getting his Ph.D. at Tulane.

I wasn't meant to be an attorney, but I was meant to go to law school.

Even after I'd published three books and had been writing full-time for twenty years, my father continued to urge me to go to law school.

My grandfather was a lawyer, my dad was a lawyer, my mum was a lawyer, I got an uncle who's a lawyer, I got cousins that are lawyers.

My mother worked in advertising and my father was a journalist. But they split up when I was three and I grew up in a single-parent family. My mum brought my brother and I up.

I finished law school in '56, but I was working two jobs.
