Thomas Wolfe of Asheville, North Carolina, achieved international recognition as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century and, through his novels, immortalized others in his family and town. But while much of what Wolfe wrote about his family was factual, a great deal, too, was fiction. Before her death in 1958, Mabel Wolfe Wheaton, his sister, accomplished a lifelong ambition: to reveal the truth about the rest of her family and to show there were others that mattered. In intimate, personal glimpses, LeGette Blythe, a writer and friend of the Wolfe family, has culled the extensive written notes of Mrs. Wheaton together with a great number of tape recordings, to reveal the family as they really were.
