JEWELS THAT SPEAK

This moving memoir relates Lynn Burlingham's battle for her own identity as child, teen and adult amid the influence of her famous extended family: great-grandfathers Louis Comfort Tiffany and Charles Culp Burlingham; grandmother Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham; grandfather Einar Hakon Sørensen; uncle George F. Kennan; and Anna Freud, her grandmother's colleague, companion and confidant, and her father's psychiatrist.

"An engaging read and an enticing peek into the secret lives of two celebrated families." Kirkus Reviews
