Book Details
Channeling Cornelius—an entertaining and delightful memoir about one woman’s extraordinary life and the quirky cast of characters who cross her path. “Some people think I’m a little, well, odd. It could be because I used to walk in my sleep and talk to an imaginary friend who wore a feather in his cap, or because I couldn’t wear a wristwatch without it going haywire. I think it’s because a radio fell on my head when I was four years old, but perhaps it’s because my family members include grave robbers, bootleggers, horse thieves, acrobats, and Broadway’s greatest showman. Okay, I get it. Strange things happen when I’m around. It’s like my dear husband George often said: ‘You know, you really are more than a little screwy.’ Well, you be the judge. My name is Dolores Ann Theresa Veronica Duffy McDowell, and this is the story of my crazy life.”
