In her biography of writer Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964, née Mary
Flannery), Mary Carpenter introduces young readers to one of the
most renowned American authors. With an accessible style of
writing, Flannery O'Connor gives younger readers an overview of
O'Connor's life and examines the influences, such as her family,
region, and education, that helped her become one of the most
respected fiction writers of the twentieth century. In a frank but
age-appropriate manner, Carpenter discusses the writer's rural
southern upbringing, her relationship to race, her chronic lupus,
and her Catholic faith. The book will appeal to younger (nine- to
ten-year-old) readers with sophisticated interests along with, and
maybe more importantly, those older middle-school students who are
not yet skillful readers and who thus often search with difficulty
for interesting topics presented in books of a shorter length than
most written for that age group. Mary Flannery's life is
inspirational. Her childhood in Savannah, Georgia, was both
difficult and privileged. During the Great Depression, her father
had to leave home to find work and then became very ill. Later in
small-town Milledgeville, Georgia, Flannery lived with her mother
and an extended family of strong women. Flannery's ability to know
her mind at an early age helped her build an artistic reputation
starting in high school. Through her fiction, she went on to become
a role model for unconventional girls everywhere and for anyone who
dreams of becoming a writer.
