Review "Although we've never met, I love Kelly Corrigan like a friend. Her work gives me a rich sense of intimacy with someone who is full of life and hard-fought wisdom. She's hilarious, tender-hearted, tough, loyal, wild, and screwed-up--like all the coolest women I know."--Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird and Traveling MerciesPraise for The Middle Place "Funny and irresistibly exuberant."--O, The Oprah MagazinePraise for The Middle Place"Come for the writing, stay for the drama. Or vice versa. Either way, you won't regret it."--San Francisco ChroniclePraise for The Middle Place "Plan to laugh, cry, and be consumed by Kelly Corrigan."--Winston-Salem JournalPraise for The Middle Place "For two days I ignored my family while I devoured Kelly Corrigan's memoir. I spent a good part of that time crying, but mostly I was laughing . . . She captures our hearts and teaches us something new about family, love, and yes, even death."--Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother and Love and Other Impossible Pursuits About the Author Kelly Corrigan is, more than anything else, the mother of two young girls.
