I’m Glad My Mom Died

By Jennette Mccurdy SIMON & SCHUSTER | $27.99 This book deserves all the hype it’s gotten and more. It is an unflinching, clever and painfully honest examination of impossibly complex family dynamics, childhood stardom, trauma and healing. I suggest the audiobook as well as a printed copy; hearing Mccurdy read the book herself offers a unique experience that both riveted and touched me deeply. ▸ Mary Walrathholdridge, Senior Editor, Trends
