“A gorgeous memoir about mothers, daughters and the tenacity of the love that grows between what is said and what is left unspoken.”—Mira Jacob, author of Good Talk
  
If our family stories shape us, what happens when we learn those stories were never true? Who do we become when we shed our illusions about the past? 

Over the course of four weeks, we encouraged our readers to join us as we devoured Maya Shanbhag Lang’s memoir "What We Carry."  

This month we partnered with the Boston Public Library to secure our amazing author! Get your library copy from our partner in print, e-book, or audio book. Or, purchase a hard copy of "What We Carry: A Memoir"  from our local, independent bookstore partner Trident Booksellers here.
