My Book Beginnings is taken from THE BOOKSHOP OF THE BROKENHEARTED by Robert Hillman:

"She didn't stay long as far as marriages go, just a year and ten months.  Her note was brief, too:  I'm leaving.  Don't know what to say.  Love Trudy.  And Tom Hope was left injured in a way that seemed certain to kill him.
