## Description

Kelly Corrigan on her new memoir Glitter and Glue  I’m Irish.  That must be where the luck comes from, the luck required to find a publisher after filling diaries and journals for thirty years, first in a gingham wonderland from Sears, then in a dorm room in Virginia, finally in a fixer-upper near Oakland, California. My first book, The Middle Place, was about my father, Greenie, who was very sick at the same time that I was very sick.  Next, in 2010, I tried to capture what it has been to my daughters’ mother in Lift.  Finally, with Glitter and Glue, my mother gets her due.  Now, Mary Corrigan is a complicated topic, as most mothers are. Think stoic, gritty, unbending; one part saint, two parts sergeant.  Or, as she put it, “Your father’s the glitter, but I’m the glue.  It takes both, Kelly.”   I hope that somehow, given the toppling pile of books on your nightstand, you can find an evening to spare for this story of how I came to wonder who my mom was before I arrived, what motherhood had done to her and who she had become since I left home.  Parenthood is so distorting; we all deserve a second, longer look.
