Come Clean, My Love is a 1949 novel by Rosemary Drachman Taylor. Like her prior novels, the book began as a re-telling of factual events about her family's life in early 1900s Tucson. This time it was to focus on her brother Oliver and his inheriting their father's steam laundry, but due to complaints from her family about telling all their secrets, and the author's own feeling of constraint about having to follow real life, the novel turned into one of pure fiction. In May 1949 the book was selected to appear in condensed form in Woman's Home Companion. To celebrate the launch of the new book, a party was thrown at the steam laundry in Tucson, Arizona started by her father and run by her brother, which became the fictional setting for the novel. John Winchcombe-Taylor, Taylor's husband, adapted the book into a play, which premiered in Tucson at the Tucson Little Theater in October 1949.
