A mother.  A daughter.  A shattering choice.

From Anna Quindlen, bestselling author of Black and Blue, comes a novel of life, love and everyday acts of mercy.

"A triumph."
--San Francisco Chronicle

After caring for her mother during her final, painful battle with cancer, Ellen Gulden discovers many surprising things about her mother's life and finds herself accused of murdering her mother in a mercy killing

The basis of a 1998 motion picture starring Meryl Streep and William Hurt, a New York Times best-seller features a young woman wrongly imprisoned for the mercy killing of her mother. Reissue. Movie tie-in.

Industry Reviews
"One thing is true: This is a remarkable book. Anna Quindlen writes about family with all the humanity, wit and pain of going home. This is a strikingly honest and transforming book."
Wendy Wasserstein

"Like a brush with mortality, 'One True Thing' leaves the reader feeling grateful, wide-awake, lucky to be alive."
Michael Chabon

"It is simply impossible to forget."
Alice Hoffman

"Will move you to reexamine your own intimate relations in search of the One True Thing."
Gail Sheehy

"There is not a single false word in 'One True Thing'. Readers of her columns in the Times are aware that Anna Quindlen has a first-class mind; now they will know she has a great heart as well."
Susan Isaacs

An interesting & moving account of a daughter who grew up in awe of her father while never getting to know her mother until she is forced to take care of her while she is dying of cancer. Well written, certainly held my attention. Would definitely read other books by this author.
