Linda Gray Sexton

Linda Gray Sexton (born 1953[1]) is an American writer.

Early life edit

She was born in Newton, Massachusetts, the elder daughter of poet Anne Sexton and Alfred Muller "Kayo" Sexton.[2] She graduated from Harvard College in 1975.

Career edit

In 1994, she wrote her memoirs of growing up with her mother, titled Searching for Mercy Street: My Journey Back to My Mother, Anne Sexton.

She has written several novels and edited posthumous editions of her mother's works.[3] She wrote another memoir, titled Half in Love: Surviving the Legacy of Suicide, published in January 2011, and Erica Jong has written "Linda Sexton’s beautiful book is a cry for health and sanity. It will bring hope and understanding because it explains the way suicide blights families from generation to generation.”
