Newscopy: Novelist Kathleen Norris (above) reminisces about her family and friends in "Family Gathering," an informal autobiography published by Doubleday. A resident of Palo Alto, California, Mrs. Norris--like so many of the heroines of her romantic novels--grew up in carefree poverty in San Francisco, and achieved phenomenal success and a writer. Her new book is illustrated with photographs, and filled with anecdotes about her prominent friends and relatives.
