Publisher's Summary
A collection of deeply personal conversations from award-winning actress and activist Laura Dern and the woman she admires most, her mother—legendary actress Diane Ladd.
What happens when we are brave enough to speak our truths to the ones we love the most?
Laura Dern and Diane Ladd always had a close relationship, but the stakes were raised when Diane developed a sudden life-threatening illness. Diane’s doctor prescribed long walks to build back her lung capacity. The exertion was challenging, and Laura soon learned the best way to distract her mom was to get her talking and telling stories.
Their conversations along the way began to break down the traditional barriers between mothers and daughters. They discussed the most personal topics: love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition, and legacy. In Honey, Baby, Mine, Laura and Diane share these conversations, as well as reflections and anecdotes, taking listeners on an intimate tour of their lives. Complementing these candid exchanges, they have included photos, family recipes, and other mementos. The result is a celebration of the power of leaving nothing unsaid that will make you want to call the people you love the most and start talking.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
What the critics say
"Family photos, recipes, playbills, handwritten notes, and individual asides break up the conversation transcripts. From their favorite colors to the legacy they share as single mothers and award-winning artists, this becomes a very full and generous picture of a mother and daughter, imbued with genuine gratitude. . . It's quite special to witness."—Booklist

Great audio book to listen to on a long road trip.
The reason I purchased this book was because it was written by two really good actors. I kept listening to the book because it was so well presented. I felt like I was walking with these women and getting a glimpse into their relationship, their sacrifices, their fears, and their vulnerabilities. It also had me reflecting on my own relationship with my mother. Highly recommend.

It keeps getting better.
This was a really nice read. It is so nice to hear a Hollywood family that is normal and loving. It is inspirational to hear Diane and Laura’s story of working women and their determination in having Diane recover from poisoning. I recommend this for sure.
