It's funny, there are so many women who are former executives and have taken all that stress and anxiety and transferred it onto their kids.
When I began writing that I was able and did travel and met some fascinating people and also uncovered some history, which has not been discovered before.
I had two sisters, and we would love to get dressed up and pretend that we were chic, sophisticated ladies. And I think that was a great sort of preparation, in a way.
