I can't wait to share READING JANE: A DAUGHTER'S MEMOIR with readers and listeners. It's an exploration of a mother and daughter (me) that I've been told reads like literary fiction. Although it tells the story of my family, I think you'll find yourself with insights into the ways our culture often pretends to be well when we aren't, as well as real-life examples of the many ways parents pass on their emotions or lack of emotions to their children and how that affects the children's lives. It is also about connection and travel and coming of age.
