Written by journalist and historian Mark Oppenheimer, this book finally pulls back the curtain on the real woman behind the stories that shaped millions of childhoods across the world.

From the Back Cover

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. He has taught at Stanford, Wesleyan, NYU, and Yale, and is the author of five books including the critically acclaimed Squirrel Hill: The Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting and the Soul of a Neighborhood. He is a trusted voice in American journalism and nonfiction writing with over two decades of experience.

Short Summary

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