ⓘ About Barbara Holland
Barbara Holland was a published American author of novels. She was known for writing fiction novels as well as writing to defend the perception of modern vices. These included drinking alcohol, cursing, eating foods that are ‘fatty’, and smoking cigarettes. Holland was born on April 5, 1933. She grew up in Maryland in a place called Chevy Chase that was close to Washington D.C. She would later pen a memoir of that time in her childhood growing up in that area. Her parents would get a divorce early in her life, when she was just a child. Her mother would go on to remarry a man named Thomas Holland. Barbara did not like her stepfather at all, and would later write that she, along with all of her friends, was afraid of their fathers due to their anger.
