The author of the New York Times bestseller Passages returns with her inspiring memoir.Candid, insightful, and powerful, Daring: My Passages is the story of the unconventional life of Gail Sheehy, a writer who dared to blaze a trail in a "man's world, " becoming one of the groundbreaking writers at New York magazine along with such stellar journalists as Tom Wolfe, Gloria Steinem, and Jimmy Breslin. Sheehy dared to walk New York City streets with hookers and pimps to expose violent prostitution, to march with civil rights protestors in Northern Ireland as British paratroopers opened fire, to break the glass ceiling in a media world fueled by testosterone, killer competition, and grit. Daring: My Passages is also a beguiling love story of Sheehy's tempestuous romance with and eventual happy marriage to Clay Felker, the charismatic creator of New York magazine.Sheehy reflects on desire, ambition, and wanting it all. Fascinating and no-holds-barred, her memoir is a testament to guts, resilience, smarts, and offers a bold perspective on all of life's passages.
