LIFT will be reviewed in O Magazine, Glamour and others to be announced. Anne Lamott, author of Operating Instructions, Bird by Bird and Plan B, said: “Although we’ve never met, I love Kelly Corrigan like a friend. Her work gives me a rich sense of intimacy with someone who is full of life and hard-fought wisdom. She’s hilarious, tender-hearted, tough, loyal, wild, and screwed-up—like all the coolest women I know.”

Over Almost 5 million people have watched the Transcending video on YouTube, made to celebrate the release of the paperback version of The Middle Place which debuted on The New York Times Bestseller List where it stayed for 24 weeks.

The Middle Place has recently sold Foreign Rights to Brazil, Spain and the UK. The British version hits stores on January 21.

Circus of Cancer just crossed the 500,000 mark. Over half a million people have used the site to learn how to help a friend with cancer.

SF Chronicle Reviews The Middle Place "Rarely has someone described the infinite small moments of parenting so imaginatively yet so precisely...so, come for the writing, stay for the life-and-death drama. Or vice versa. Either way, you won't regret it." Regan McMahon, SF Chronicle Deputy Book Editor

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

I haven't become so immediately caught up in or so compelled by a book in ages…Kelly Corrigan's lightning-fast ability to establish that rare, mysterious bond between book and reader overwhelmed me. There are all sorts of things to be said about her bravery, and about what she can explain to many of us about illness, but this is a wonderful book about being alive.

— Robb Forman Dew, author of The Truth of the Matter and The Time of Her Life

The Middle Place is inspiring, luminous, and true. Reading this memoir, I felt like an honorary member of the Corrigan family . . . Kelly Corrigan is a wonderful writer.

—Luanne Rice, author of What Matters Most
