A letter from the publisher, Riverhead Books
Dear Friend,
This is a book I hope absolutely everyone reads. It is a
book about us and our parents. You all know Mary Pipher as a
renowned psychologist and a bestselling author, but in this
book you'll also find an eloquent friend who maps out the
indecipherable and introduces us to a language we desperately
need. This book is about family, this book is about
strangers, and finally, this book is about each of us.
Through it, I found - among other riches - a way to think
about growing older myself... the information, encouragement,
and strength I need to begin to consider my own journey to
"Another Country".
