History: Palm Springs a perfect stop to enchant Faith Baldwin
Tracy Conrad
Unlike some authors, Faith Baldwin had a knack for titles. With some 80 books to her credit over her career Baldwin had plenty of chances to name her works. “Girl on The Make,” “That Man Is Mine,” “Give Love the Air,” “Make-Believe” and “Men Are Such Fools!” sold tens of thousands of copies to young women who would read them on the subway en route to work, and to housewives, with an hour in the afternoon before the children came home from school, looking to be transported to another world through her fiction. Her novels “Self-Made Woman,” “He Married A Doctor” and “A Job for Jenny,” and “Wife vs. Secretary” were gently aspirational and expanded the idea of what women might do in the world.
