“What upset Helen further still was her fear that she had no original ideas. She worried that everything in her mind had been put there by someone else- that she was incapable of forming her own thoughts and ideas. Even after all she was known around the world for her accomplishments, the "Frost King" incident sometimes nagged at her mind and heart. In her autobiography, The Story of My Life, Helen wrote, "I have ever since been tortured by the fear that what I write is not my own.”
