It�??s a crazy idea: trying to name the phrases that make love and connection possible. But that�??s just what Kelly Corrigan has set out to do here. In her New York Times bestselling memoirs, Corrigan distilled our core relationships to their essences, showcasing a warm, easy storytelling style. Now, in Tell Me More, she�??s back with a deeply personal, unfailingly honest, and often hilarious examination of the essential phrases that turn the wheel of life.
In �??I Don�??t Know,�?� Corrigan wrestles to make peace with uncertainty, whether it�??s over invitations that never came or a friend�??s agonizing infertility. In �??No,�?� she admires her mother�??s ability to set boundaries and her liberating willingness to be unpopular. In �??Tell Me More,�?� a facialist named Tish teaches her something important about listening. And in �??I Was Wrong,�?� she comes clean about her disastrous role in a family fight�??and explains why saying sorry may not be enough. With refreshing candor, a deep well of empathy, and her signature desire to understand �??the thing behind the thing,�?� Corrigan swings between meditations on life with a preoccupied husband and two mercurial teenage daughters to profound observations on love and loss.
With the streetwise, ever-relatable voice that defines Corrigan�??s work, Tell Me More is a moving and meaningful take on the power of the right words at the right moment to change everything.
