About this product

Product Information

The Middle Place is about calling home. Instinctively. Even when all the paperwork -- a marriage license, a notarized deed, two birth certificates, and seven years of tax returns -- clearly indicates you're an adult, but all the same, there you are, clutching the phone and thanking God that you're still somebody's daughter. For Kelly Corrigan, family is everything. At thirty-six, she had a marriage that worked, a couple of funny, active kids, and a weekly newspaper column. But even as a thriving adult, Kelly still saw herself as George Corrigan's daughter. A garrulous Irish-American charmer from Baltimore, George was the center of the ebullient, raucous Corrigan clan. He greeted every day by opening his bedroom window and shouting, Hello, World! Suffice it to say, Kelly's was a colorful childhood, just the sort a girl could get attached to. Kelly lives deep within what she calls the Middle Place -- that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap -- comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. But she's abruptly shoved into a coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast -- and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. And so Kelly's journey to full-blown adulthood begins. When George, too, learns he has late-stage cancer, it is Kelly's turn to take care of the man who had always taken care of her -- and show us a woman as she finally takes the leap and grows up. Kelly Corrigan is a natural-born storyteller, a gift you quickly recognize as her father's legacy, and her stories are rich with everyday details. She captures the beat of an ordinary life and the tender, sometimes fractious moments that bind families together. Rueful and honest, Kelly is the prized friend who will tell you her darkest, lowest, screwiest thoughts, and then later, dance on the coffee table at your party. Funny, yet heart-wrenching, The Middle Place is about being a parent and a child at the same time. It is about the special double-vision you get when you are standing with one foot in each place. It is about the family you make and the family you came from -- and locating, navigating, and finally celebrating the place where they meet. It is about reaching for life with both hands -- and finding it.

Fell in love with the author after I watched a video of her. Not surprising I fell in love with the book as well. The relationships & feelings she described were real and believable, and I felt I could be a part of them so easily!! Read & enjoy!

The Middle place ~ Such a good little book
Loved it. Easy reading. I Laughed and Cried. It's Great in how any reader can relate to the stories. many of us are or were in that middle place, being a kid and having kids. I didn't really think about that a fabulous place that was, until I wasn't there any more. It seems like another book will be coming to add to the story... I think women will like this book best.

The Middle Place
The language draws you in and makes you wish you were part of this family. The father/daughter relationship was complex and real. Parts were funny, parts were sad, but this book was a very fast and enjoyable read. Perfect for a day at the beach.

The Middle Place
The book has an easy to read style, which is very human and will stike an emotional cord in every reader. I bought it to read for my book club after seeing a heartfelt piece Kelly Corrigan had written and read on utube which even made my husband cry.
