CHILDHOOD Fox is the daughter of screenwriter Elsie Fox and novelist Paul Hervey Fox . She was given up for adoption as an infant, and was passed among various relatives and friends. In her 2001 memoir ''Borrowed Finery,'' Fox recalled that at her first meeting with her mother, at age five, "I sensed that if she could have hidden the act she would have killed me." Not long after, another visit with Paul and Elsie ended when her mother threw a glass at her. A teenage marriage produced a daughter, Linda, in 1943. However, given the tumultuous relationship with her own biological parents, she gave the child up for adoption. Fox later attended Columbia University, remarried, and after raising two more children, began writing. She published her first book in 1966. She is the author of six autobiographical novels, sixteen childrens' books, and one memoir. Fox is the biological grandmother of musician Courtney Love . EXTERNAL LINKS |
