}} Beatrice Cynthia Freeman (January 10, 1915 – October 22, 1988), pseudonym of Bea Feinberg,[1] was an American novelist. BiographyShe was born in New York City in 1915 to Albert C. and Sylvia Jeannette (Hack) Freeman and shortly after her birth moved to San Francisco. She dropped out of school and was tutored by her mother. She attended the University of California, Berkeley at the age of fifteen. She married Herman Feinberg at the age of eighteen and had two children, Sheldon and Arlene.[1] Her husband died in May 1986 and her daughter passed away in a fatal automobile accident in 1985.[2] Cynthia Freeman died of cancer in San Francisco in 1988,[1] aged 73. CareerAs a young girl, she began writing books but abandoned writing to pursue a career running an interior decoration business. When poor health forced her to give up her business, she decided to dust off an old manuscript from childhood but discovered the cleaning lady had thrown it out. From memory, she rewrote the story. Freeman specialized in multi-generational stories of Jewish families, centering on a female protagonist. Her novel, No Time For Tears, was No.10 on the list of bestselling novels in the United States for 1981 as determined by The New York Times. Her books were translated into thirty-three languages, selling more than twenty million copies worldwide.[3] Bibliography
