Faith Baldwin:
(October 1, 1893 – March 18, 1978).
American writer of romance novels and other forms of fiction, often concentrating on women characters juggling career and family. The New York Times wrote that her books had “never a pretense at literary significance” and were popular because they “enabled lonely working people, young and old, to identify with her glamorous and wealthy characters”.
The September storms—the hurricane warnings far away, the sudden gales, the downpour of rain that we have so badly needed here for so long—are exhilarating, and there’s a promise that what September starts, October will carry on, catching the torch flung into her hand.
There is a clarity about September. The sun seems brighter, the sky more blue, the white clouds take on marvelous shapes; the moon is a wonderful apparition, rising gold, cooling to silver; and the stars are so big.
