🙌 MY MOTHER’S DAUGHTER: FINDING MYSELF IN MY FAMILY’S FRACTURED PAST is an NPR staff pick for favorite books of the year so far!
I’m also on the Culture Study podcast talking with the great @annehelen about my book, boomer moms, and everything that we inherit from our mothers in a world that hates them. We take some great listener questions, too. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Such a lovely chat with the brilliant @schemaly about my memoir MY MOTHER’S DAUGHTER and the history of homes for unwed mothers as a system of punishment and control that re-routed single mothers into marriage. Grab your copy at the link in bio.
Recent coverage! Some lovely words about MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER at @themeteor, @CJR, @KQEDForum, and @lyzl’s Men Yell at Me.

Bay Area & San Francisco friends! I'm doing a very special event tomorrow for MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER with Savala Nolan, author of GOOD WOMAN, at @booksonthepark. This Thursday, May 14, at 7 pm. I hope to see you there—and be sure to rsvp!
"Magic" sums it up. Grateful for friends, family, former coworkers, and readers for showing up the other night in Brooklyn at @booksaremagicbk. And couldn't have asked for a better conversation partner in @irin for a chat about MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER. SF and LA are next this week!
TONIGHT! NYC, I hope to see you at @booksaremagick at 7 pm. I'll be in conversation with @irincarmon about MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER. We'll be talking family secrets, shame, race, motherhood, reproductive control, and more. We'll also be celebrating this book being out in the world!
Thrilled to have this essay adapted from MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER in @Cosmopolitan about the women in my family, the trap of the nuclear family, and how conservatives are selling marriage as a safe haven in a world they are making more hostile by the hour. cosmopolitan.com/relationshi…

One more day till this book is out in the world (which means it's your last day to preorder), and this piece feels like the perfect way to usher it in. simonandschuster.com/books/M…

There’s an exclusive excerpt from my book MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER on the @guardian! It's an essay about how my mom was sent away in shame and I turned shame into my career.

I thought this juxtaposition was poetic irony, or a testament to generational change, until I started digging into my mom's past. My book tells that story. It comes out in just five days and preorders are everything. simonandschuster.com/books/M…
Y'all! I'm on the Modern Love podcast talking (and crying) about the family story that animates my book MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER, which comes out May 5. Also: the first picture I ever took with my sister *is in the New York Times.* Still processing! Preorder at the link in bio!
