"Companion volume to 'The Exile', a biography of the author's mother, 'Fighting Angel' is a biography of her father. The extraordinary fact is that while these two lived together for forty years and had seven children, yet they lived utterly separate lives, so that the tale of what the man did and thought does not in the least duplicate the story of the woman." - Dustjacket blurb.
