At thirty-five, Elsie Robinson feared she'd lost it all. Reeling from a scandalous divorce in 1917, she had no means to support herself and her chronically ill son. She dreamed of becoming a writer and was willing to sacrifice everything for this goal, even swinging a pickax in a gold mine to pay the bills. When the mine shut down, she moved to the Bay Area. Armed with moxie and samples of her work, she barged into the offices of the Oakland Tribune and was hired on the spot. She went on to become a nationally syndicated columnist and household name whose column ran for over thirty years and garnered more than twenty million readers. Told in cinematic detail by bestselling author Julia Scheeres and award-winning journalist Allison Gilbert, Listen, World! is the inspiring story of a timeless maverick, capturing what it means to take a gamble on self-fulfillment and find freedom along the way.
While the death of a parent is always painful, losing both is
life-altering. When author Allison Gilbert lost both parents at age
32, she could not find any books that spoke to her with the same
level of compassion and reassurance that she found in the support
group she belonged to, so she decided to write one of her own. The
result is a sensitive and candid portrayal of loss that brings
together experiences from famous and ordinary grief-stricken sons
and daughters that explores the regrets, heartache and sometimes,
relief, that accompanies pain and healing.
