Love Child: A Memoir Of Family Lost And Found - Plot & Excerpts
I know this because she wrote up a little memoir of it, and stored it with her letters and Dad’s in a box on the floor of the guest-room closet in the house where she lives now, on her stud farm in Santa Ynez. She remembers meeting me the day before my memory of the party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was brought to Dad’s hotel room and told to do my party piece, the double jig that Karen Creagh had taught me. Cici saw an uncertain eight-year-old girl eager to please, with a steely-haired Irish nanny smoking grimly in the shadows; a trick pony put on show for a roomful of old codgers chewing cigars. She hated it. And even though she wasn’t yet married to Dad, she knew she was the only person in any position to change things. Cici felt a kinship to Mum, too. The day after she married Dad, he took her to Ireland, where she found Zoë and Danny in residence. Dad hadn’t warned her, hadn’t even told her that they existed (and hadn’t warned Zoë, either, that he had a new wife in tow).
