Wendy and the Lost Boys: The Uncommon Life of Wendy Wasserstein

Complexities of a brilliant life, ever focused on others, are woven together in a tapestry which reveals terrible questions. Why was Wendy's mother allowed to ridicule Wendy's weight? Who could and should have stopped this torture? Did Wendy's mother's belittling both Wendy's weight and achievements cause Wendy to take the killing risk of doubtful and dangerous fertility medications? Would Wendy's unacknowledged objective to win her mother's acceptance as a woman? So many of us, male and female, are injured by rejecting and sadistic parents. I wish Wendy had disowned her mother's incessant sadism before she took the fertility drugs which may have caused her death.
