Description:
When journalist Hillary Johnson learned that her mother, Ruth, had terminal cancer, she left New York City and returned to Minneapolis to care for her. While coping with the practical and emotional difficulties the circumstances, Hillary discovered the woman her mother had become in the two decades since she had left home for college.
Expand description
In vivid snapshots of memory Johnson recalls her intense and sometimes troubled relationship with her irrepressible mother, who married at 18, and had two children by the time she was 21. A few years later, seeking a more fulfilling life, she moved to Paris leaving behind only a note to her husband which read: "Gone to Paris, took the kids". Ruth found that fulfillment in her late 40s when, after a divorce and a remarriage, she enrolled in college to study art and finally discovered the person she was meant to be.
