By Katie Hafner – Random House, 2013<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Katie Hafner and her teenage daughter, Zo\u00eb, have made great strides in picking up the pieces after the sudden death of Hafner’s husband. So when Katie\u2019s 77-year-old mother, Helen, suggests they all move in together, unwarranted optimism fuels their decision to do so. Maybe issues from Katie\u2019s complicated and unhappy childhood could be resolved. But a rift between Helen and Zo\u00eb quickly jeopardizes the mother-daughter bond. Even therapy can’t help. Hafner is honest and matter-of-fact, but with the fallout from Helen’s alcoholism, there’s too much unfinished emotional business, and the trio’s best intentions fall short. A moving, must-read memoir for anyone in the sandwich generation once again living with parents\u2014or considering such an arrangement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
