Julia
enters a room intending to write. Instead
of picking up a pen and paper, she
plays solitaire. She talks out
loud. She conjures up scenes with her
mother, Rosemary, a singer; her mother’s accompanist; and her
father.
To create her story, to find her voice, she
orchestrates, fantasizes and examines her past. She
discovers “the points can be
subtle…but they’re true, and they’re
honest and they’re larger than the experience itself.”
