Mickey Pearlman invited established writers and rising stars to think about that eternally evocative subject. THe answer that emerged from these gifted writers is a collection of original memoirs about: a Broadway songwriting grandmother, the adoption of a biracial daughter, the love of a gay man for his aging grandmother, a Chinese father's love letters to the writer's mother, a traumatic but transformative childbirth experience, a love affair with one's wife in Paris, and the familiar sibling rivalry between a toddler and her newborn sister.
