They Left Us Everything: A Memoir by Plum Johnson

3.0

---

After a lengthy illness, the 83 year old mother of the author finally dies. Plum Johnson, the author, is relieved from the burden of caring for her cranky, demanding mother and envisions that she won't grieve for her mother. But like so much in life, memories come back.. whether we want them to or not. The author didn't have a close relationship with her mother and is surprised to find herself questioning their connection. Great narrative on what happens when the last parent dies and the family has to divide up the estate. Each item has meaning.
