Houghton Mifflin was shipping my book to stores all across the country, and I’d soon be facing the judgment of family and critics. When the verdict was in, I far preferred the critics. My father raced over from his aerie in the Darlington apartments. I had rarely seen him so animated. He shouted with joy when I handed him the book and he saw the title of my first novel. “My God, son, you’ve named the book after me. What an honor.” “Dad, you might want to read the book before you start talking ab...out it,” I said, horrified that I had even kept the name of the book from my father. He opened the book and started thumbing his way through its pages, excitable and happy-faced as a King Charles pup. “So, you dedicated this book to me and your mother.” Suddenly moved, he added, “This might be the best day of my life.” At first, I had dedicated it to my mother alone, phrasing it, “This book is dedicated to Frances ‘Peggy’ Conroy, the grandest of mothers and teachers.”
