How to Lose Your Mother
by Molly Jong-Fast
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Molly Jong-Fast created a “can’t look away from this vessel careening rapidly toward a cliff kind of memoir.” I would never have guessed that life with Erica Jong, the author of The Fear of Flying, and lovely celebrity of the 70’s could have been such a mess . What’s even more unbelievable is that the author and celebrity is still alive in 2025. There is so much name dropping in this Memoir of a Daughter, one might suspect that the work is actually fiction. I remember reading novels by Molly’s grandfather, Howard Fast, in the 70’s. Molly wails that she could never get enough time with her mother who is still raging alcoholic. Molly also identifies as an alcoholic and talks about her drug use in the past but says she has been sober for some 20 years. She works as a journalist and political pundit, has a wonderful husband and three terrific kids and actually acknowledges that her life is a form of normal. There is love on every page of this book or I might have simply put it down with all the sadness that also occupies almost every page.

I did not particularly like the book. Terry was weak and allowed herself to be taken advantage of. even Chris abused her I understand she allowed it in order to get her son back. she gave up Gabe because she was not able to raise him. I haven't read the earlier books so not sure how Chris and Terry came to know decker and Rina but thank god for them still I'm sorry the Terry was killed and Chris took the easy way out and committed suicide leaving Gabe without a father as if it wasn't bad enough he lost his mother

I really enjoyed this novel. I was inspired to read it after hearing the author speak and read excerpts from her book at EMPL. It is a fast read about why Grace left her family years ago.

Great book! Nora and her sister Libby go on a reconnect vacation to Sunshine, N Carolina. While there, Libby makes a list of everything they must accomplish before vacation is over. While there Nora meets Charlie, her nemesis from NYC. As they spend more time together, Nora and Charlie become the romantic couple that can never be together… or can they? I recommend this quick, fun read.

July 7,2025 completing the Color our World Rainbow Connection This book was so terrific... While dealing with emotional family issues, Rowley intertwines tenderness, warmth, humor and teenage raising brilliance! I just loved the connections between all of his characters and rode along with Patrick's ride through life. The descriptions of the scenery and adventures that Patrick, Maisie and Grant were on as they traveled through Europe were so real that I felt I was with them on their journey. The writer actually captures the Sound of Music tour in Austria perfectly and I found myself singing along with them. I also found myself truly laughing out loud and tearing up a lot... Great writing!!! Great book!!!
