But it was from her mother -- a woman who was dressed by Givenchy and sculpted by Alexander Calder, yet rejected by many a casting agent for her \"dark,\" unconventional looks -- that Susan drew inspiration, particularly when she faced challenges in her own career as a television writer in Hollywood, a town that wasn't always receptive to positive images of people of color. As a result the two developed a bond that mothers and daughters everywhere will find inspiring. Both a universally touching mother-daughter story and a portrait of a dazzling American family, \u003cem\u003eAlways Wear Joy\u003c\/em\u003e is a memoir readers won't soon forget.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148068765936,"sku":"9780061877674","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780061877674_p0.jpg?v=1769911791","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780061877674","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
