Sample Book Insights:

#1 Montgomery Clift’s childhood was unhappy, and he struggled to overcome it. He was separated from a normal childhood and put too much emphasis on what he should be, rather than what and who he was.

#2 Sunny Fogg, Montgomery Clift’s mother, was born in 1888 in Philadelphia. She was raised by a couple who had adopted her at the age of one, but she believed she had been an unwanted child. When she was 18, the doctor who had delivered her told her the true story, and she was shocked to learn that she had been adopted.

#3 Sunny’s children were raised with the belief that they were aristocrats. She wanted them to view themselves as such, and she made sure they had the best education and socializing possible.

#4 The way the three Clift children were raised did not make them feel privileged in adulthood. They felt unusual, isolated, and traumatized. They could not remember much about their childhoods, and when they did remember something, it caused them to weep.
