A New York Times Notable Book of the Year “A candid, often painful depiction of a daughter’s struggles to come to terms with her powerful and emotionally troubled mother”—the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Anne Sexton (New York Times).

Linda Sexton was 21 when her mother killed herself, and now she looks back, remembers, and tries to come to terms with her mother’s life. Growing up with Anne Sexton was a wild mixture of suicidal depression and manic happiness, inappropriate behavior and midnight trips to the psychiatric ward. Anne taught Linda how to write, how to see, how to imagine—and only Linda could have written a book that captures so vividly the intimate details and lingering emotions of their life together.
