Non-Fiction Memoir
Simon's memoir reveals her remarkable life, beginning with
her storied childhood as the third daughter of Richard L.
Simon, the co-founder of publishing giant Simon &
Schuster, her musical debut as half of The Simon Sisters
performing folk songs with her sister Lucy in Greenwich
Village, to a meteoric solo career that would result in 13
top 40 hits, including the #1 song "You're So Vain." She
was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an
Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award, for her song "Let
the River Run" from the movie Working Girl.
The memoir recalls a childhood enriched by music and
culture, but also one shrouded in secrets that would
eventually tear her family apart. Simon brilliantly
captures moments of creative inspiration, the sparks of
songs, and the stories behind writing "Anticipation" and "We
Have No Secrets" among many others. Romantic entanglements
with some of the most famous men of the day fueled her
confessional lyrics, as well as the unraveling of her
storybook marriage to James Taylor.
