Synopsis
After she and her father both came down with potentially fatal cancer, Kelly Corrigan began to write her memoir, but, surprisingly, cancer plays only a peripheral role in her story, taking a backseat to Corrigan's humorous accounts of her childhood, and her loving descriptions of her relationship with her parents and children.

Industry Reviews
"It's easy to see why word of mouth and house party readings have fueled its rise up the nonfiction best-seller lists: Corrigan writes about her diagnosis and treatment but doesn't dwell on the physical effects of chemo or radiation. Instead, she writes of a happy childhood...and her complicated relationships with her father, mother, brothers and husband. She captures what should be, and frequently is, a golden time - suspended between being a mother and being a daughter, with her children and her parents surrounding her."
