Title: An exceptional piece of writing by Ms. Palmer, riveting.
Product review: I have listened to Stanley Paul tell these stories for years, but never have they captured my attention as completely as when told by this author. Ms. Palmer brings warmth and dramatic appeal to a series of episodes that offer insights into the press, the movie stars and the people who gravitated to the places where they could "see and be seen", an accurate representation of 'cafe society' in Chicago's 1960's. A segment on Judy Garland appears toward the end of the memoir that captures her spirit and desperation in those later years as I, for one, have never seen in print before this reading. An exceptionsal new author, Diane Palmer makes these stories clearly worth reading.
