Resumen del Editor
In the spring of 1972, Joyce Maynard, a freshman at Yale, published a cover story in The New York Times Magazine about life in the sixties. Among the many letters of praise, offers for writing assignments, and request for interviews was a one-page letter from the famously reclusive author, J.D. Salinger.
At Home in the World is the story of a girl who loved and lived with J.D. Salinger, and the woman she became. A crucial turning point in Joyce Maynard's life occurred when her own daughter turned eighteen--the age Maynard was when Salinger first approached her. Breaking a twenty-five year silence, Joyce Maynard addresses her relationship with Salinger for the first time, as well as the complicated, troubled and yet creative nature of her youth and family. She vividly describes the details of the times and her life with the finesse of a natural storyteller.
Courageously written by a women determined to allow her life to unfold with authenticity, At Home in the World is a testament to the resiliency of the spirit and the honesty of an unwavering eye.

Historia
It's a report tempered by hard times. In "Matricide", Daum unflinchingly describes a parent's death and the uncomfortable emotions it provokes; and in "Diary of a Coma" she relates her own journey to the twilight of the mind. But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

Alexandra Styron's parents—the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Sophie’s Choice and his political activist wife, Rose—were, for half a century, leading players on the world’s cultural stage. Alexandra was raised under both the halo of her father’s brilliance and the long shadow of his troubled mind. Reading My Father portrays the epic sweep of an American artist’s life. It is also a tale of filial love, beautifully written with humor, compassion, and grace.

The complex, deeply binding relationship between mothers and daughters is brought vividly to life in Katie Hafner's remarkable memoir, an exploration of the year she and her mother, Helen, spent working through, and triumphing over, a lifetime of unresolved emotions. Dreaming of a "year in Provence" with her mother, Katie urges Helen to move to San Francisco to live with her and Zoe, Katie's teenage daughter. Katie and Zoe had become a mother-daughter team, strong enough, Katie thought, to absorb the arrival of a 77-year-old woman set in her ways....

Tracy K. Smith has a fairly typical upbringing in suburban California: the youngest in a family of five children raised with limitless affection and a firm belief in God by a stay-at-home mother and an engineer father. But after spending a summer in Alabama at her grandmother's home, she returns to California with a new sense of what it means for her to be Black: from her mother's memories of picking cotton as a girl in her father's field for pennies a bushel to her parents' involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.

For a long time, Nadja Spiegelman believed her mother was a fairy. More than her famous father, Maus creator Art Spiegelman, and even more than most mothers, hers - French-born New Yorker art director Françoise Mouly - exerted a force over reality that was both dazzling and daunting. As Nadja's body changed and "began to whisper to the adults around me in a language I did not understand", their relationship grew tense.

Joyce Maynard was 18 years old when her 1972 New York Times Magazine cover story catapulted her to national prominence.

She wrote about diving under her desk for air-raid practice during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and catching the first glimpse (on the cover of Life magazine) of a human fetus in utero.

He was not the husband Joyce imagined, but he quickly became the partner she had always dreamed of. Then, just after their one-year wedding anniversary, her new husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Tammy Partridge and her boyfriend, Kevin, are on a photo-ready road trip across America in pursuit of influencer fame.

But when Tammy’s body is discovered in the Utah wilderness, and Kevin is nowhere to be found, the picture-perfect adventure suddenly goes wrong—and viral, with three million followers and counting. Motives are questionable. Conspiracy theories cloud the dark corners of the internet. As everyone spins their own version of the truth, reality is getting harder to see.

Historia
When they were children in the suburbs of Los Angeles in the 1950s, Diane Keaton and her younger brother, Randy, were best friends and companions: They shared stories at night in their bunk beds; they swam, laughed, dressed up for Halloween. Their mother captured their American-dream childhoods in her diaries, and on camera. But as they grew up, Randy became troubled, then reclusive. By the time he reached adulthood, he was divorced, an alcoholic, a man who couldn't hold on to full-time work - his life a world away from his sister's, and from the rest of their family.

Five years ago, Kelana Gardavros lost everything in the war against the Pale empire. Now Kel Garda is just another refugee living on the edge of an isolated star system. No one knows she was once a member of an Order whose military arm was disbanded and scattered across the galaxy. And no one knows that if her enemies found her, they might destroy the entire world to get rid of her. Kel’s past intrudes in the form of a long-dormant Pale war machine, suddenly reactivated. If the massive automaton isn’t stopped, at best it will carve a swath of devastation that displaces thousands of people.

Loved it!
I have never been hocked to a book the way I did with this one wright from the beginning. Beautifully written.
I listen to many audio books I rank Joyce number one in performance. She has a soft clear voice.
I would definitely like to read her other books.

Talented Writer- Love Her Work
Any additional comments?
I discovered Joyce Maynard years ago when I read this book. It never left me and I was thrilled to find it on Audible.
She writes with great insight and sensitivity. I love her novels as well. I just wish she wrote more prolifically.

Joyce tells the truth in a way that breaks my heart while making me feel almost normal in my own family dysfunction. I can’t stop reading/listening.

A personal, deep dive.
I’ve read a few of Joyce Maynard’s book, mostly as a young mother in my early 20’s. Clearly, Ms. Maynard has honed her craft; I couldn’t put this book down and was sorry it ended. It was a treat to have her read her memoir. I found her voice soothing and melodic. As other reviewer‘s have mentioned, there was a clicking sound in the background but it wasn’t distracting to me. I’ll be listening to this again.

Engrossing
This memoir is personal, fast-paced, and involving. Admittedly, I was shocked by some of Joyce Maynard's decisions. Wish there were a sequel.

Grateful
I am so grateful Joyce Maynard had the courage to write this book, the biting honestly with which she tells her story captivated me. For the most part, I read the words along with her as she narrated it, and I’m even more grateful she had the courage to read it in her own voice. I am inspired and will endeavor to read more of her books.

Loved it!
I originally wanted to read this book as a Salinger fan, I can’t believe how much hate it received when first published in 1998. It is not a sensationalized tell-all as once written off as, to me it is a normal memoir with a person telling their experiences as anyone has the right to do. I am still a fan of Salingers writing but now also a Moyer fan. She was honest and her accounts felt heartfelt and not bitter, it was wrong for a successful older writer to have a romantic relationship with an 18 year old. It was nice to read the only first hand account of the man and peel away some of the lore. Thanks Joyce!

Narration Distracted From Beautiful Writing
The narrator (also the author) had this strange clicking noise that could be heard after certain words and sentences. At first I thought it was something wrong with my earphones, but no, it was coming from the narrator. It was so annoying that I found myself anxiously waiting for the next weird click, which greatly detracted from the experiences shared in the book and her beautiful writing. If this type of thing doesn't bother you, then please download this book. If this type of thing does bother you, please be ready to be uncomfortably annoyed for the duration.

Not great
Self indulgent and a little bit silly, I couldn't get past the idea that the whole point of the book was to both capitalize on her brief attachment to J.D. Salinger, and make herself out to be a greater talent than she was.
