In the heart of the Great Depression, a young life began within the walls of a Manhattan orphanage, a beginning defined by absence and longing. But Searching For Myself is more than a story of survival; it is a sweeping odyssey of discovery. From the pivotal moment of reuniting with a mother at age twelve to the bright lights of Broadway—where the stage was shared with icons like Charlton Heston—this memoir traverses the heights of artistic achievement and the depths of personal identity.

Beautiful Emma meets and marries Doctor Charles Bovary. He's happy for the first time in his life - but Emma is distraught that her marriage lacks the passion and romance of her fantasies. Dazzled by the splendour of a marquis’ ball, she longs for excitement and soon becomes infatuated with a young solicitor, Léon Dupuis. But when Dupuis moves away, her memories of him lead her to despair - and into the arms of wealthy landowner Rodolphe Boulanger. As she moves from one illicit liaison to another, Emma’s complicated life begins to unravel.
