“With charming candor and insight, Bergen addresses her college-bound daughter on subjects such as love, friendship, education and work… She discusses career moves and handling prickly employers and sudden terminations with grace before meaningfully recounting her experience with depression and the death of her alcoholic father. Her comments on divorce are wise and sensitive…She is at her most poignant when describing the fluctuations of intimacy and parental control with a child on the verge of adulthood… well told and piercing in its honesty.”
