The End of Eve: A Memoir

A tough yet lyrical account of family, loss, and motherhood. At 39, called on to take care of her dying mother, Ariel Gore rises to the occasion. She brings us along with her through the difficulty of caring for an aging parent who never did such a great job taking care of you. Gore's open-eyed honesty takes no prisoners, but her light touch makes sense of the story, leaving herself and the reader whole and healed.
