Few Hollywood stars have achieved the stature or notoriety of Orson Welles, creator of arguably the greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane. Much has been written about his artistic triumphs and human failings, but as the author makes clear, this is not another such book. Owing nothing to research and everything to first-hand experience, it is the beautifully realized, intensely personal tale of a daughter's search for her lovable, larger-than-life yet strangely elusive father.

About the Author:
Chris Welles Feder has spent a great part of her life working in the field of education and is known to many as a writer for the children's educational series Brain Quest. She lives with her husband in New York City.
From Publishers Weekly:
Feder, the daughter of Orson Welles and his first wife, Virginia, tells the story of her search for a relationship with her famous father as well as creating an independent identity through a childhood and adolescence influenced by a list of affectionate guardians and brilliant but dysfunctional grownups. The latter category included her own parents: the author was still a child when they separated and her father married Rita Hayworth; her mother, meanwhile, went on to her own second and third marriages. Feder found affection at times, but it was her years in Illinois with her father's former headmaster and the headmaster's wife that provided her first experience of domestic stability. Her peripatetic life resumed, however, while her father arrived irregularly for extended one-on-one visits that shaped his daughter's budding intellect, but left her hungry for a deeper, more permanent connection. Her story conveys a powerful, intimate sense of Welles's creative struggles and her own part in preserving his artistic legacy. (Nov.)
