About the Author

Mark Oppenheimer is a professor of practice at Washington University in St. Louis and holds a Ph.D. in religious studies from Yale.

Short Summary

Judy Blume: A Life takes you deep inside the world of an author who rewired how young people experience literature.

It's Me, Margaret?, Oppenheimer traces how a young mother found her voice and changed the literary world forever. This is a story about courage, creativity, and the power of telling the truth.
