Published by the John Day Company to whose president, Richard John Walsh (1886-1960), she was then married, the book was successful and temporarily revived her waning reputation. The China oriented writer Helen Foster Snow described her partnership with John Day and Walsh as "the most successful writing and publishing partnership in the history of American letters." The firm had published everything she'd written since their marriage in 1935. Her biographer, Professor Peter Conn, describes the book as "a thickly textured representation of the Chinese and American societies in which she had lived." Friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, cultural ambassador between China and America, tireless advocate for racial democracy and women's rights and founder of the first international adoption agency, this is a book by and about a special American citizen of the twentieth century. Very Good.

To My Daughters, With Love

New York, The John Day Company. 1967. Hardcover. Book, First Edition (?). 250pp. Forewrod. Decorated magenta cloth gilt, internally fine. NF. A loving memoir about the famous author's only birth daughters and the six others whom she thought of as daughters. Pearl Sydenstricker Buck (1892-1973). Her daughter Carol Grace was born in 1920 with phenylketonuria, (PKU) a rare illness which if untreated leads to profound mental retardation. At the time neither the illness nor its cure had been identified. The agaonies she and her husband went through about Carol led to her adopting seven more daughters and indirectly to her life-long interest in supporting the adoption of Asian children through Welcome House an institution she founded which has placed more than five thousand Asian children in American homes. The book she wrote about Carol, entitled The Child Who Never Grew, was a landmark. Peter Conn's biography tells how it specifically encouraged Rose Kennedy to talk publicly about her retarded child, Rosemary. More generally it helped to change American attitudes about mental illness. In 1964, Pearl Buck set up the Pearl S.Buck Foundation, Inc which has provided medical care and eduction for over twenty five thousand Amerasian children in a dozen Asian countries. This book bears the imprint of that foundation on its copyright page. Fine.
