A compelling memoir about one woman's discovery of the true meaning of motherhood
Kelly Corrigan is the author of The Middle Place and Lift, both New York Times bestsellers. She is a YouTube sensation whose beloved "Transcending" video has been seen by more than 5 million viewers. She is also a contributor to O, The Oprah Magazine and Good Housekeeping, and is the founder of circusofcancer.org. She lives outside San Francisco with her husband and two daughters.
It's a great story, made all the more memorable because it is true.
And because although it is far from Kelly's dream job, she is a
good person and she wants to do nice things for the family. I loved
the adage , Things happen when you leave the house, but by the end
it seemed that you don't have to leave the house, as long as you've
already left the country. Evan, I'm looking at you boy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, finishing it in under 48 hours. It
can be hard, sometimes, to care that much about someone else's
life, their personal-to-them details that don't mean much to you,
but the author got me so invested in this book I needed to know
what happened to all the featured characters. The ending, in
particular the epilogue itself, made me weep and I was sorry for
the way some of it turned out, though not surprised. I too have
traveled the world and made great friends along the way, but I'd be
at a loss to tell you where they are and what they're doing now,
Facebook updates aside.

It's easy to see how Corrigan has become a best-selling author: she
has an immensely likeable voice... while it's "heart-warming it's
also perceptive.
