Description
This Is My Life by Meg Wolitzer is a novel about the complexities of family life and the challenges of growing up in the shadow of a famous mother. Dottie Engels, a successful comedian, struggles to balance her career with the needs of her two daughters, Opal and Erica.
As Dottie's ratings begin to slide, it takes both her daughters to help save their mother from herself. With its keen observations, compassion for its characters, sharp humor, and strong social commentary, this book expertly captures the uncertainties of adolescence and the trials of growing up with a parent who is caught between fame and family.
