520    "Raised like a princess in one of the most powerful 
       families in the American South, Henrietta was offered the 
       helm of a publishing empire. Instead, she ripped through 
       the Jazz Age like an F. Scott Fitzgerald character: 
       intoxicating and intoxicated, selfish and shameful, 
       seductive and brilliant, and often terribly troubled. In 
       New York, Louisville, and London she drove men and women 
       wild with desire, and her youth blazed with sex. But her 
       lesbian love affairs made her the subject of derision and 
       drove a doctor to try to cure her. After the speed and 
       pleasure of her youth, the toxicity of judgment coupled 
       with her own anxieties led to years of addiction and 
       breakdowns,"--Novelist.
