Through letters and diaries-and a new afterword relating the wisdom she''s gained after sharing her story-Reichl confronts the transition her mother made from a hopeful young woman to an increasingly unhappy older one and recognizes the huge sacrifices made to ensure that her daughter''s life would not be as disappointing as her own.
