![]() A short time later Taylor received word that an editor from Wilcox and Follett wanted to publish her work. Unbeknownst to his wife, he sent in her manuscript about her childhood. While Taylor was working at a nonprofit summer camp directing and choreographing dance and dramatics, her husband saw an announcement about a writing contest. Because of her daughter's inquiries, Taylor wrote down her memories and then tucked them away in a drawer. As her daughter grew up Taylor would tell her stories about her own childhood. After dancing with the Martha Graham Dance Company, Taylor took time off to have her one and only child, a daughter. As an actress, she also learned modern dance, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Taylor started working as a secretary after she graduated from high school, married her husband, and spent her nights with the Lenox Hill Players, a theater group. This childhood led Taylor eventually into writing. Her Jewish immigrant family lived in poverty conditions, but they felt great respect and appreciation for the country that gave them hope and opportunities for the future. ![]() Taylor was born on Octoon New York City's Lower East Side. ![]()
