The Middle Place
by flora
The Middle Place, by Kelly Corrigan, is both a coming of age and a cancer-survival memoir. The title refers to the balance between being a daughter and being a wife and mother, a transition which Kelly explores through poignant episodes and a father-daughter battle against cancer. Cancer may have been the impetus for the memoir, but this book is really about familial love. I couldn't help but adore Kelly's quirky, full-of-life father and quickly understand just why he is so special to her. This book is recommended for all daughters who think their dads are the greatest. Come to think of it, those fathers would probably enjoy it as well.
