Unveiling Hidden Secrets: Marty Ross-Dolen’s Quest to Unlock a Daughter’s Haunting Truths
LL: I’m curious if you could talk a little more about Highlights for Children magazine as well as the company and family. Of course, we all grew up reading the magazine in medical and dental offices. One year for my birthday, a friend even gifted me a subscription! I loved the ‘Hidden Pictures,’ best. In a sense, that’s what Always There, Always Gone is really about, allowing the hidden picture to materialize.
MRD: One of my favorite things is when someone tells me they were a Highlights kid! It’s such an honor to be closely connected to a brand that touches so many hearts and connects people so fondly to their childhoods. I am no different – I grew up on Highlights too! And you are not alone in loving the “Hidden Pictures” page. So many people, children and adults alike, say “Hidden Pictures” is their favorite part of the magazine. I love the idea that my book can be thought of as its own hidden pictures puzzle, with a story ripe for discovery.
