My Take
Jacqueline Susann's story is one of my favorite kinds of comeback. She started out as an actress, never quite broke through, then reinvented herself as a novelist and wrote Valley of the Dolls, one of the best-selling books in history. Becoming the first author to top the New York Times bestseller list with three consecutive novels is staggering. To me she's proof that a stalled dream isn't the end; it can be the doorway to a bigger one. Though she died in 1974, her late-blooming triumph still encourages me. It's never too late to find the path where you truly bloom.
