Description: Scottie is the first biography of F. Scott and Zelda's daughter, Frances Scott Fitzgerald Lanahan Smith, written by her daughter. A uniquely personal view of the most famous literary couple of the century, it is also a universal story of parents and daughters, and a meditation on the consequences of fame.

Using journals, diaries, family letters, parts of Scottie's own unpublished memoir, and personal reminiscences of Scottie's surviving family and friends, Eleanor Lanahan has written a beautiful, intensely personal book that is as clear-eyed as it is compassionate. Spanning three generations, Scottie is as much a portrait of an American era as it is the story of a brilliant, troubled family.
