First sentence: Looking back at my childhood-as I now do with increasing frequency and ever-growing intensity-I realize that many of the functions usually performed by mothers were, in my case, carried out primarily by my mother's mother, who lived with my parents from their marriage in 1920 until her death eighteen years later.
