For Kelly Corrigan, family was everything. At thirty-six, she had a marriage that worked, two funny, active kids, and a weekly newspaper column. Yet even as a thriving adult, Kelly still saw herself as the daughter of garrulous charmer George Corrigan. She was living deep within what she calls the Middle Place - 'that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap' - comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. But Kelly is abruptly shoved into coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast - and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. When George, too, learns that he has late-stage cancer, it is Kelly's turn to take care of the man who had always taken care of her - and to show us a woman who finally takes the leap and grows up.

LAUGH THRU TEARS
One minute you will be laughing out loud, the next you will be crying! A spellbinding book that you can not put down. I missed Greenie as soon as I closed the book! The American family in all it's glory - tumors and all. Enjoy!

I read the book and really enjoyed it. She really knows how to get to the"heart" of her subject. It is so true about relationships within families. I had read about this author and book in our Kappa Alpha Theta magazine. I also bought a copy for my sister.
