SynopsisNow in paperback, a collection of deeply personal conversations from award-winning actress and activist Laura Dern and the woman she admires most, her mother--legendary actress Diane Ladd. What happens when we are brave enough to speak our truths to the ones we love the most? Laura Dern and Diane Ladd always had a close relationship, but the stakes were raised when Diane developed a sudden life-threatening illness. Diane's doctor prescribed long walks to build back her lung capacity. The exertion was challenging, and Laura soon learned the best way to distract her mom was to get her talking and telling stories. Their conversations along the way began to break down the traditional barriers between mothers and daughters. They discussed the most personal topics: love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition, and legacy. In Honey, Baby, Mine , Laura and Diane share these conversations, as well as reflections and anecdotes, taking readers on an intimate tour of their lives. Complementing these candid exchanges, they have included photos, family recipes, and other mementos. The result is a celebration of the power of leaving nothing unsaid that will make you want to call the people you love the most and start talking., Award-winning actresses and mother-daughter duo Laura Dern and Diane Ladd were always close, but when Diane developed a sudden life-threatening illness after breathing in poisonous chemicals, they got to know each other in ways they never imagined. Diane's doctor prescribed long walks to build back her lung capacity, so the two set out together. The exertion was challenging, and Laura soon learned the best way to distract her mom was to get her talking and telling stories. Over the course of meandering strolls through the Santa Monica neighborhood where memories awaited them around every corner, they questioned each other on the most personal topics: love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition, and legacy. They revisited happy times and reopened old wounds. By the time Diane regained her strength, they were more than a close pair; they had covered tremendous ground and finally saw each other completely for the first time. In Honey, Baby, Mine, Laura and Diane share these conversations, as well as reflections and anecdotes, taking readers on an intimate tour of their lives. Complementing these candid exchanges, they have included photos, family recipes, and other mementos. The result is a celebration of the power of leaving nothing unsaid that will make you want to call the people you love most and start talking.
