Description
The bright lights of Manhattan, burning crosses in Mississippi, and former flames from Texas sparked a series of stories and essays featured here in Funny Face. With wit and wisdom, author Peggi Davis' musings recount the hilarious and harrowing events that occurred as she gingerly grew up, and her fractured family moved from town to town.
Half hippie, half haute couture, she entered the wacky world of retail advertising at the young age of nineteen. There, her outrageous experiences and escapades with a collection of colorful, creative colleagues provide a humorous personal narrative. And her ability to rise above the secrets hidden from her as a child offers insight into the sadder parts of her life.
Now in her seventies, Davis' insight on aging and other timely topics gives voice to a generation raised on marvelous music, incredible imagination, and the power of love.
