Shearin, K. Kay
Diamond Dust
"Diamond Dust" by K. Kay Shearin is a personal account exploring the author's experiences and observations while living in Delaware, likely written in the early 1990s. In the book, Shearin reflects on her past, illustrating the complexities of human relationships and the intricacies of the legal system. Key figures in her life, such as her aunts, influence her perspectives as she seeks to provide insight into the social fabric and political climate of Delaware. The opening of the book begins with a foreword in which Shearin explains her motivations for writing and the truthfulness of her account based on personal experiences and research. She then shifts to describe the state of Delaware, humorously noting its underappreciated charm and the historical impact of the du Pont family on the region. The narrative unfolds to introduce themes related to politics, law, and personal challenges that will likely be explored further in subsequent chapters, including her insights on the legal environment and anecdotes from her career in law, particularly related to Hutton Trust Company. Overall, the beginning sets a contemplative tone that invites readers to engage with Shearin's memories and insights. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 55.0 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
