Edna Robinson (1921–1990) wrote The Trouble with the Truth (Simon & Schuster/Infinite Words, Feb. 2015) and is represented on Goodreads by her editor/daughter Betsy Robinson. Edna lived all over the U.S. and attended twenty-seven schools before the eighth grade. Early on, she wrote for radio soaps and small-town newspapers’ “Society News.” After graduating from Northwestern University in 1943, she headed for New York City, and in the pre-Mad Men days of advertising, she became not only one of the first female copywriters, but one of the only Jewish copywriters. When directed to the typing pool, she simply refused to accept that being a secretary was her only option and she declared her intention to write. Fortunately her first boss found such hubris charming and he became her mentor. While working at ad agencies, she developed a number of well-known advertising lines (“Navigators of the world since it was flat”; “A kid’ll eat the middle of an Oreo first . . .”; and “Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cookies”) and developed new products. She also wrote feature articles for horse magazines and Sports Illustrated, children’s books for Hallmark, and short stories for adults. She had a lifelong love of music that began at the age of twelve, when she wandered into a piano teacher’s house, saw a piano, and declared that she just knew she could play it. This turned out to be true, and after studying piano for fifteen months, Edna began concertizing and was lauded as a child prodigy. About a year later, she stopped playing when she moved away from her beloved teacher. She was the mother of four children.
