Mom’s First Hug at 69

Best-selling author, book critic and journalist, Meredith Maran, shares a deeply inspiring story about how, after a lifetime of aversions, she and her mom Rita became friends when Meredith was 69 and Rita 93. We learn so much from these exceptional ladies: not to give up before a miracle, that no one is just good or evil (not even our mothers), that anger is like drinking poison, and that people do change – even at 69. Or 93.
