Corrigan, Kelly. 1967-
The middle place / Kelly Corrigan. - 1st ed. - New York : Voice/Hyperion, c2008. - 272 p. ill. ; 22 cm.
At thirty-six, she had a marriage that worked, two funny active kids and a weekly newspaper column. But even as a thriving adult, Kelly still saw herself as the daughter of garrulous Irish-American charmer George Corrigan. She was living deep within what she calls the Middle Place-"that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap"- comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. But Kelly is abruptly shoved into coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast-and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. When George, too, learns that he has late-state cancer, it is Kelly's turn to take care of the man who had always taken care of her-and to show us a woman who finally takes the leap and grows up. from the book cover.
