In her first published book, Private I: A Memoir, we meet Hershman Leeson the child who didn’t speak until she was seven, Hershman Leeson the fast-maturing sister who regularly sought refuge in the Cleveland Art Museum as a way to escape her volatile home life, and Hershman Leeson the “gifted-child” who once cut off her own hair intending to fashion a paintbrush that would let her “paint like [J.M.W.] Turner” after discovering his work.
