'There was no way I was going to let those brats see me cry.''My curiosity never failed me.''My innocence until that moment was as big as the wide-open sky.'In Patricia L. Headley’s third memoir, The Sweet Flame of Childhood, she recounts with humility her memories, developmental lessons, and 'all those characters' who played a role in shaping her life in the 1950s and 60s. One in a family of nine, growing up in a small Iowa town, Pat loved exploring anywhere she could--from all the nooks and crannies of the library to abandoned houses. She learned the hard way to stop taking dares from mischievous boys. She was a girl coming face to face with her innocence and ignorance, learning big lessons about the power of language and jumping into adventures unprepared. And sometimes, it was the little, more informal lessons that counted the most.
