I appreciated the courage and honesty of Ms. Myers' memoir. For me it was a compelling, fascinating read -- this daughter's attempt to remember, explain and understand the difficult and complicated relationship with her mother. Several times I cried because I felt Myers captured feelings that are too nebulous to describe or too taboo to talk about. In particular her explanation of the unique relationship she experienced with her mother compared to her uncomprehending and unsympathetic siblings. First daughters (and first sons) so often find themselves in this uncomfortable and painful predicament. Myers managed to put all of this down on paper and captivate in the process.
