Wildly perceptive and, in turns, hilarious and fearlessly vulnerable, the author's memoir is required reading for anyone who has ever had a mother. Some of them might already understand what the author herself has only recently discovered: Facebook may connect us across the world and throughout history, but it won't deliver a pot roast and it won't dry your tears. The stages of the card playing women that she grows up around stay the same, but the perceptions she has of it may not.
