A member of Anne McCaffrey's family - her son Todd - gives us a candid and inspiring glimpse into the mind and soul of one of the greatest science fiction and fantasy writers of all time - an extraordinary woman who has influenced a generation of writers and readers and left an indelible mark on the field.
From Anne's birth on April Fool's Day in 1926, her girlhood encounters with the strange power of second sight that gifts the McCaffreys, her trailblazing efforts to balance the roles of wife, mother, and writer in the turbulent sixties, through a painful divorce and the years of success and acclaim that followed, Dragonholder will enrich every reader's appreciation of the world of Pern...and its equally unique creator.
