The Guess Jeans Fight of 1984

An amazing story told with steep honesty, buckets of humor and, above all, integrity. The Middle Place is memoir at its highest form.

—Darin Strauss, author of The Real McCoy and Chang and Eng

The Middle Place is a memoir that reads like a novel and sings like an Irish tenor. When Kelly Corrigan writes, she makes you want to come home.

—Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and Still Summer

For two days I ignored my family while I devoured Kelly Corrigan's memoir, The Middle Place. I spent a good part of that time crying, but mostly I was laughing. In the tradition of the best memoirists (Anne Lamott and Anna Quindlen come to mind) she captures our hearts and teaches us something new about family, love, and yes, even death.

— Ayelet Waldman, author of Love and Other Impossible Pursuits
