Gladys Scheffrin-Falk left her hometown of Atlantic City, New Jersey at age 19. But in “One Summer of Lightning”, the imprint of an Atlantic City that no longer exists is apparent. Scheffrin-Falk was a scholarship student in the New School novel workshop that produced such writers as William Styron, Sigrid Di Lima and Nancy Hallinan. Her Children’s book, “Another Celebrated Dancing Bear,” Scribner’s 1991, was selected by the New York Times as one of the ten best illustrated books of the year, won an award in the Ezra Jack Keats-Unicef international competition and traveled through Europe as part of an exhibition.
