"Award-winning actresses and mother-daughter duo Laura Dern and Diane Ladd are the kind of women who draw strength from their lifelong friendships with other women, and most of all, from each other. Ever since Laura was born, the two have leaned on each other through the trials of everyday life and the tribulations that come with even the most storied Hollywood careers. They were always close, but when Diane developed a sudden illness, their relationship grew even deeper. When a doctor prescribed long walks to build back Diane's lung capacity, the pair began taking strolls together every day. These meandering walks soon became epic ones, and the conversations the two women shared began to break down the traditional barriers between mothers and daughters. With topics ranging from ambition and legacy to intimacy and marriage, drifting between humorous and deeply poignant, nothing was off limits. By the time Diane was healed they were more than a close duo; they had covered tremendous ground and formed a true adult relationship. Peppered throughout these intimate exchanges, they enclose personal photos, family recipes, and much more. The result is a book that will make you want to call your own mom-a testament to the intimacy that can be achieved when we are brave enough to speak our truths to those we love most"--… (meer)

I love both these actresses but this was 25% charming and 75% grating. ( )

Well I love Laura Dern and her mother was a good actor too but I have to say if these two people weren't famous this book probably would not have gotten published. Their conversations were not terribly inspiring and even sometimes boring. Also got tired of all the name-dropping. ( )

A series of thoughtful conversations between Laura Dern and her mother Diane Ladd as they go on walks to increase Diane's lung capacity after an exposure to toxic chemicals.

Quotes

To me, her memory is a constant reminder to cut through the noise and try to meet people's most basic needs. (Laura, 55)

Being a believer makes for a more interesting life, don't you think? (Laura, 75)

And yet, who told us we're supposed to be nothing but upbeat around people who are sick and dying? ....What if these walks are my last chance to hear her stories? (Laura, 79)

So many bullies fall because one person is brave enough to come forward. (Laura, 90)

We pour it all into this person. Then they grow up. (Laura, 111)

Easy to say, but harder to feel. (Laura, 119)

I used to believe in leaving things unspoken, trusting that in their hearts people knew the truth. I thought to feel love was enough. But this experience has changed that. (Laura, 224)
