Growing up in 1930s America, Sidney faced the harsh realities of struggle as his family traveled the country in search of work during the Great Depression. Taking on various jobs as a bus-boy, clerk, and usher, he held onto his dream of becoming a writer and breaking into Hollywood. A fortunate opportunity arose when he became a reader for renowned producer David Selznick, igniting his aspirations. Sidney dedicated his nights to crafting stories for films and librettos for musicals, gradually building a reputation that attracted the attention of Hollywood's elite. However, the onset of war meant that he had to serve in the US Army Air Corps, putting his dreams on hold. After returning, he collaborated with iconic figures like Cary Grant, Shirley Temple, and legendary producers such as Selznick and Dore Schary, as well as musical stars like Irving Berlin and Judy Garland. The memories of his impoverished beginnings faded as he achieved success. This narrative captures a life of resilience, illustrating how one man's optimism and determination led him to triumph against the odds. He dedicated the book to his granddaughters, hoping to share the magic of his journey with them.

In Denver, a small plane crashes into the mountains. In Manhattan, a body washes ashore along the East River. At first these seem to be random incidents, but the police soon discover that all four of the victims are connected to Kingsley International Group (KIG), the largest think tank in the world. Kelly Harris and Diane Stevens—young widows of two of the victims—encounter each other in New York, where they have been asked to meet with Tanner Kingsley, the head of KIG. He assures them that he is using all available resources to find out who is behind the mysterious deaths of their husbands. But he may be too late. Someone is intent on murdering both women, and they suffer a harrowing series of near escapes. Who is trying to kill them and why? Forced together for protection, suspicious of each other and everyone around them, and trying to find answers for themselves, the two widows embark on a terrifying game of cat and mouse against the unknown forces out to destroy them. Taut with suspense and vivid characterization, full of shocking twists, and with an unnervingly realistic premise that could alter all of our lives, the long-awaited Are You Afraid of the Dark? is Sidney Sheldon at the top of his game.
