About this listen

 In a coming-of-age memoir about a woman who loved being a girl and what made her finally grow up, Kelly Corrigan brilliantly explores the "middle place" between childhood and adulthood and how one woman made the leap to the other side.

"The thing you need to know about me," she begins, "is that I am George Corrigan's daughter, his only daughter." Intertwining her own story with that of her larger-than-life, Irish-American father, Corrigan illustrates an unbelievably powerful and healing father-daughter relationship that evolves as they both face a battle with cancer.

Uplifting yet realistic, her story examines what it means when the person who has been your source of strength is in need of some himself. It's that bittersweet "in between" moment when you're a devoted wife and mother, but you'll always be Daddy's girl.

Extraordinary

Extraordinary. Such a beautiful, hopeful human story. I enjoyed every bit of it, thanks in no small part to the excellent narrator, who gave life to the experiences and characters portrayed. I'm grateful to Kelly Corrigan for putting this book out into the world, so that more of us might share in her story. The short interview with the author at the end was a welcome touch.
