Reads like a long conversation with an old friend; at any rate, a friend who does most of the talking! Of all her three memoirs, this one is probably the most intellectually probing and detached, no small achievement considering it is also the most intimate and personal. It's also fiercely funny at points. This time around the story is not just the tale the journey of Jenny and her wife and children, although that is told again and TMI relief, but an exploration into the meaning and impacts of all of our parent-child relationships and the gender filters through which we view our lives. Thankfully, the issue of gender seems to take a back seat in this one and perhaps that is ultimately the point. Time, age, and perspective make this one the most profoundly mature of three excellent books in her memoir series. Jenny is now so comfortable in her own skin, and seems so happy in her own life, that now can come reflection and the quest for understanding.
