A Fascinating Life

Many know Anne Ford as an advocate for those with special needs and the author of the acclaimed memoir Laughing Allegra, documenting her experiences as a mother raising a daughter with learning disabilities. Anne has now turned her focus on her own life, as the second daughter of Henry Ford II and Anne McDonnell, in her newest memoir: A Fascinating Life

In this collection of memorable and often hilarious adventures, Anne tells her own story of growing up in an unusually prominent family in Detroit and Southampton - meeting her great-grandfather Henry Ford, dinner with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, teaching the Twist in the White House, her debutante party with Ella Fitzgerald, being trapped in a snowstorm in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, tea with Coco Chanel: these are a few of the unexpected episodes in a life well-lived.
