I have looked forward to reading this for years and was elated to find a mint condition copy at Awesome Books a few years ago. Now, I snuggle in to read about an empty woman, sailing to answer her questions about her Mother. Although I am always angered by the stupid idea of parents not detailing heritage for children and themselves not demanding answers, this is the gratifying, emotional, non crime mystery I love.

Our compassion is immediately with Brooke Shields from her first page and our investment in hers & Chris' success is firm. It is a shame that while striving to conceive a baby in California, her Dad was fighting with the same fertility drugs as her, terminal prostate cancer in Florida. My Mom had heard of her book with great respect and would have been excited to read it, since I just came across a secondhand copy.

The first chapter is charmingly clever. The next childhood memory is sassily resourceful. Then somehow at age 21, Chelsea jumped into a drunk driving arrest and pilfered Sister's identification, resulting in jail time! This story collection of 2008 is not for the feint of heart.

I am finally making progress. We don't read much on the birthday week of family! :)
