Linda Gray Sexton (born 1953) is an American writer.
Early life
She was born in Newton, Massachusetts, the elder daughter of poet Anne Sexton and Alfred Muller "Kayo" Sexton. She graduated from Harvard College in 1975.
Career
In 1994, she wrote her memoirs of growing up with her mother, titled Searching for Mercy Street: My Journey Back to My Mother, Anne Sexton. Michiko Kakutani, reviewing it, wrote "while Anne Sexton often comes across as a truly monstrous mother, there are also passages of great tenderness in this book ... she writes with compelling urgency and candor".
Linda Gray Sexton has written several novels and edited posthumous editions of her mother's works. She wrote another memoir, Half in Love: Surviving the Legacy of Suicide, published in 2011, and Erica Jong has written "Linda Sexton’s beautiful book is a cry for health and sanity. It will bring hope and understanding because it explains the way suicide blights families from generation to generation."
