SynopsisThis account vividly recaptures the pain and yearning of Joan London for the father who left the family circle. A very different London story, it tells of growing family tensions and what it meant to live in the glow of a famous but absent father. Includes a selection of photographs Jack London kept for his daughter, and a preface by Bart Abbott, Joan London's son and Jack London's grandson.Joan London brings us an intimate portrait of the Jack London only she knew, and...adds a key piece to the colorful mosaic of California life and literature. -- San Francisco Chronicle
This is not only a book about a famous person by his daughter but also a valuable source of local history for the Bay Area of Northern California. Joan London describes the architecture of her many homes in the early years of the 1900's in Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley. Also, she describes the 1906 earthquake as she experienced as a child living in Oakland.
