Nothing quite like a memoir about mother’s and daughters to have you missing your mom. Well done reminisce of the authors trip to Australia where she nannied for a family who had lost a mum. Well handled and insightful.

Thank you for extending the ARC of "Glitter and Glue" to me -- I was unable to finish this book before it expired, so I plan to purchase a copy and read it Thank you anyway!

A memoir by Kelly Corrigan where she goes back in time after her college years, when she is living in Australia and becomes a nanny at a home where the mother has died and the kids and the father are trying to pick up the pieces. Living in a home where the mother is absent makes her think back to her childhood of the impact her mom had on her life. I could call this book a love story to the mother/daughter relationship.

I absolutely adored this book. Probably because I have a very close relationship with my mom and my sister does also and its fun that my sister and I who are polar opposites can each have a close relationship with our mom in such different ways - I love it!

I loved the title Glitter and Glue. It is explained early on that Kelly's mom said she was the glue that held the family and her dad was the glitter that got to come in and sprinkle around, but wasn't there consistently. Let me start by saying I love my dad and he was attentive and was there for every dance recital, but my mom was the one that took us to each dance class. Dad did more than glitter, but mom was the glue!

I loved reading about another mom/daughter duo and the ups and downs of that relationship. I also loved reading how her thoughts about that relationship changed after she had left her house and was no longer needing the discipline of that relationship.

I would love to read more in this genre, it was a perfect warm and fuzzy and reflective book.
