2007 Special Addition: In Honor of Mothers
On these pages, I'll share with you a small collection of my published
columns and articles. Some you might remember from my syndicated column,
Domestic Affairs; others originally appeared in a variety of magazines
and newspapers.
Periodically,
I will feature new articles here, and, we'll also be adding more of my
past Domestic Affairs columns. I hope you'll take the time to sign
up for email updates, which you
will receive anytime a story is added.
I hope
my stories, about myself and my children, will inspire you with a
few of your own.
An Eighteen-Year-Old Looks Back on Life
 While
I had published articles in major magazines by 1972, this is the essay
that caught the nation's attention -- making me an unintended spokesman
for my generation and leading to the publication of my book, Looking
Back. I've decided to post a portion of the essay here, though
complete copies are available for readers and teachers.
True
Life Stories
I like to tell
stories. Mostly about myself, since I'm the person I know best. My audio
tapes, What Happened
and Nobody's
Daughter Anymore, contain more personal, true life stories.

Being a Parent
As I move away,
myself, from the stage of life I inhabited so long -- caring for young
children -- I thought I'd share with you some of the columns I used
to write, back in my days as a monthly contributor to Parenting Magazine,
as well as some newer pieces.

For Writers
A lot of you have
been telling me in your e-mails that you are writers yourselves. I don't
set myself up as an authority here, but as a person who's been sitting
herself down at the typewriter nearly every morning for 25 years, I
do have a thing or two to say about the process of writing, and particularly
autobiographical writing.

A Storytelling Life — Added January 15, 2008
Around the World
As a journalist,
I travel a lot, often in search of stories that I think are important
to share with the rest of the world. I've written about the tragedy
of war, the heartbreak of children left without their parents to watch
over them, and of the beauty of places I particularly love.
