Exposing One's Story

Not The Mother I Remember is one of the most authentic and revealing memoirs I have read in a long time. And it’s showcased in one of the most extraordinary, exciting, adventurous childhoods imaginable, a tumultuous ride into adulthood, and by the discovery of puzzle pieces that bridge the gaps and shed light on a complex mother-daughter relationship.
Within a year-long, round-the-world journey, an exploration of America by single-engine plane, and others exciting tales we come to know Jackie Carr and her daughter, Linda/Amber. But in there, amongst the adventures, are life lessons for us all.
