Cantwell's first book, \u003cb\u003eAmerican Girl\u003c\/b\u003e, evoked the delights of her youth in a small New England town; her second, \u003cb\u003eManhattan, When I Was Young\u003c\/b\u003e, told of her blossoming career in New York, her marriage and her children, and that marriage's decline. \u003cb\u003eSpeaking with Strangers\u003c\/b\u003e finds Cantwell alone, a single mother struggling in the big city, bereft of her husband but bolstered by friends, thriving in her career yet personally troubled. With a sensibility as distinct as the city she calls home, Cantwell's autobiographical trilogy brilliantly captures her struggle to forge a life with one foot in her past and the other, warily, in her present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140291902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.50w x 1.01d","brand":"Mary Cantwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43971910271157,"sku":"9780140291902","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_07346dba-d4aa-441c-a0c4-18ca81a659a8.jpg?v=1713280318","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/manhattan-memoir-american-girlmanhattan-when-i-was-youngspeaking-with-strangers-9780140291902","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
