520    “It is biography as an expression of love.”  –   The New 
       York Times     New York Times –bestselling author Julie 
       Klam’s funny and moving story of the Morris sisters, 
       distant relations with mysterious pasts.   Ever since she 
       was young, Julie Klam has been fascinated by the Morris 
       sisters, cousins of her grandmother. According to family 
       lore, early in the twentieth century the sisters’ parents 
       decided to move the family from Eastern Europe to Los 
       Angeles so their father could become a movie director. On 
       the way, their pregnant mother went into labor in St. 
       Louis, where the baby was born and where their mother 
       died. The father left the children in an orphanage and 
       promised to send for them when he settled in California—a 
       promise he never kept. One of the Morris sisters later 
       became a successful Wall Street trader and advised 
       Franklin Roosevelt. The sisters lived together in New York
       City, none of them married or had children, and one even 
       had an affair with J. P. Morgan.  The stories of these 
       independent women intrigued Klam, but as she delved into 
       them to learn more, she realized that the tales were 
       almost completely untrue.   The Almost Legendary Morris 
       Sisters  is the revealing account of what Klam discovered 
       about her family—and herself—as she dug into the past. The
       deeper she went into the lives of the Morris sisters, the 
       slipperier their stories became. And the more questions 
       she had about what actually happened to them, the more her
       opinion of them evolved.  Part memoir and part 
       confessional, and told with the wit and honesty that are 
       hallmarks of Klam’s books,  The Almost Legendary Morris 
       Sisters  is the fascinating and funny true story of one 
       writer’s journey into her family’s past, the truths she 
       brings to light, and what she learns about herself along 
       the way.
