| Summary: | "In this profoundly honest and examined memoir, the star of Orange Is the New Black and author of Born with Teeth takes us on an unexpected journey of life and loss, secrets and betrayal, and the transcendent nature of a daughter's love for her parents. They say you can't go home again. But when her father is diagnosed with lung cancer and her mother with Alzheimer's, New York-based actress Kate Mulgrew returns to Dubuque, Iowa, to care for her parents in the time they have left together. In the months she spends with them--by turns turbulent, tragic, and joyful--Kate, the second of eight children, reflects on both of their lives and how they shaped her own. With precision and grace, she illuminates the dreams, hopes, flaws, and tragedies that marked these two unforgettable figures. In the wake of her parents' deaths, she uncovers long-kept secrets that challenge her understanding of the unconventional household in which she was raised. This is a story of the hopes, ambitions, joys, laughter, regrets, and disappointments that make a family.."--Dust jacket. |
