Synopsis
Marjorie Rawlings wrote her autobiographical novel in 1928, the year she moved to Cross Creek, but no one knew it existed, not even her editor at Scribners. Blood of My Blood is an intimate portrait of Rawling's childhood and her tumultuous relationship with her mother Ida. This book has wonderful descriptions of the world around Washington D.C. in the early 1900's.
