At twenty, Alix Kates Shulman wrenched herself from her middle-class family and staked a claim to a fierce independence. In both her novels and nonfiction, she chronicled what it means to defy the expectations of family and society in order to map one's own life. Now, in this unflinching but tender and uplifting memoir, she explores what it means to do what's expected of a daughter -- discovering in the process the unexpected, complicated joys of going home.The intersection of her own memory with family documents discovered in her parents' home provides the structure for Shulman's exploration of her life as a daughter. Alternating scenes from her past with the final years of her declining but vivacious parents, A Good Enough Daughter is the story of Shulman's journey from dependence to alienation to reconciliation. With grace, clarity, and insight, she navigates the emotional and practical difficulties of rescuing the parents from whom she had once tried so hard to separate, weaving together the parallel stories of their growing old and her growing up.
