They Left Us Everything: A Memoir
by Plum Johnson
The Depression generation can't throw anything away, and this is nowhere more evident than in this memoir centred around the inheritance of an enormous family home filled with detritus and memories. The daunting task of dealing with the strata of decades falls largely to Johnson, the "First Daughter,' whose problematic relationship with her late mother is gradually transformed as Johnson discovers more and more about who her parents really were through the evidence they've left behind. It's a touching narrative of loss, grief, love and hope, and truly a good read.
