Lenney, Dinah
Bigger Than Life: A Murder, a Memoir
Lincoln, NE University of Nebraska Press 2007 0803229763 / 9780803229761 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine Collectible SIGNED
x, 227 pp.; 23 cm. PRESENTATION COPY. Signed and warmly inscribed by the author, with a personalized inscription. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Nelson Gross led an outsized life--one in which he played many roles: father, brother, husband, politician, entrepreneur. When he was killed by a couple of teenagers in a botched abduction and robbery, the murder shook his family in predictable and terrible ways. For his daughter, Dinah Lenney, the parent of her own young children, the loss sparked a self-reckoning that led to this book, which is both a meditation on grief and a coming of age story. By turns funny and sad, frustrating and fulfilling, her candid memoir conducts readers through marriage and divorce, blended and broken families--and, finally, the kinds of conflict that infect the best of us under the best of circumstances. In the end, Lenney leaves us with the sense that in spite of extraordinary events--as with most families--it is mutual forgiveness and love that lead us to empathy, acceptance, and the will to carry on. / Dinah Lenney is a student of the Bennington Writing Seminar and a successful actress. She has co-authored (with Mary Lou Belli) This One’s For You: Acting for Young Actors (Back Stage Books, 2006). She lives with her family in California." - Publisher.
