Girls of Tender Age: A Memoir Paperback - 2007
by Mary-Ann Tirone Smith
In a "mix of crime and memoir" ("San Francisco Chronicle"), Smith articulates with great humor and poignancy the wild jubilance of her extended French-Italian family struggling to survive in a post-World War II housing project in Connecticut. In the background is the sinister shadow of an approaching serial killer who forever alters the landscape of her childhood.
Summary
With beauty, power, and remarkable wit, Mary-Ann Tirone Smith interweaves a bittersweet portrait of growing up among the working stiffs of 1950s Hartford, Connecticut, with the chilling progress of a serial pedophile who threatens to shatter her small town's innocence. In Girls of Tender Age, Smith lovingly evokes the jubilance and chaos of life in her extended French-Italian family and the challenges of living with her brother Tyler, an autistic at a time before anyone knew what that meant. Hanging over Smith's rough-and-tumble youth is the shadow of the approaching killer who forever alters the landscape of her childhood.
