Hemingway's
secretary little imagined she would become the mother of his grandchildren.
Today, Valerie is taking center stage and telling the inside story of her
unique life and her unique experience with author Ernest Hemingway. As
a journalist, Valerie's assignment was to track down and interview the
author of FOR WHOM THE
BELL TOLLS. When she found the
59 year old novelist at his favorite hotel in Cuba... the connection was
instantaneous and she spent the summer with Ernest and his fourth wife
Mary. Valerie recounts everything in compelling detail in her 2004 memoir,
RUNNING WITH THE
BULLS. It was at the author's funeral, following his
suicide in 1961, that she met his estranged son, Gregory, the man who would
become her husband and father of three of her children. Come share this
compelling life story. |
