Book Description:
Laura’s new memoir, The Burning Light of Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story, winner of best memoir of 2021 from the BookLife Prize, is the riveting story of her embattled relationship with her mother Temme, their determination to love one another, and the dramatic and surprising collision course they ended up on at the end of Temme’s life. For the millions of readers of Laura’s first book, The Courage to Heal, The Burning Light of Two Stars is both prequel and sequel, revealing in page-turning, intimate detail how Laura reconciled with the mother who betrayed her, and came to care for her in her final days. Master memoir teacher Marion Roach Smith calls The Burning Light of Two Stars “perfect” and “as good as it gets.”
