Laura Dern & Diane Ladd ; foreword by Reese Witherspoon

a mother and daughter talk life, death, love (and banana Pudding)

"Award-winning actresses and mother-daughter duo Laura Dern and Diane Ladd always had a close relationship, but when Diane developed a sudden life-threatening illness and the stakes were high, they got to know each other in ways they never imagined. Diane's doctor had prescribed long walks to build back her lung capacity. The exertion was challenging and Laura soon learned the best way to distract her mom was to get her talking and telling stories, "as if in a Santa Monica version of The Arabian Nights." Their meandering walks soon became epic ones, and their conversations along the way began to break down the barriers that traditionally exist between mothers and daughters. They questioned each other on the most personal topics: love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition, and legacy. They revisited happy memories and reopened old wounds. By time Diane regained her strength they were more than a close pair; they had covered tremendous ground, finally seeing, and truly appreciating, each other for the first time. In this book, Laura and Diane share these conversations, as well as reflections and anecdotes, taking readers on an intimate tour of their lives together. Complementing these candid exchanges, they have included photos, family recipes, and other mementos that bring the life they share together alive. The result is a celebration of the power of leaving nothing unsaid that will make you want to call the people you love the most and start talking." --, Inside book jacket
