Description

In this warm, candid memoir, a young traveler heads to Australia expecting adventure and instead becomes a live-in nanny for a widowed father and his two children. Caring for a grieving family forces her to draw on—and reconsider—the lessons of her own formidable mother, transforming her understanding of the bond between mothers and daughters. With humor, tenderness, and emotional honesty, the book explores family, grief, motherhood, growing up, and the ways admiration and love evolve over time.
