A nice short listen about Reichl coming to a deeper understanding of her mother through her letters. Looks at the dreams she couldn‘t pursue, mental health, and life as an ambitious woman who did not settle well into married life. #springlisten

This slim volume takes into consideration the limited understanding we have of our parents often not seeing them for who they really are. I appreciated Ruth Reichl's willingness to start the conversation and make herself vulnerable by sharing her personal story and what she learned in her own experience. The afterward is excellent and really brings it together.
