“Neither of these women ever takes one moment for granted. They ponder life’s biggest questions fearlessly, always aware of how precious and fleeting our days can be.”  –Reese Witherspoon (from the book’s forward)
.
To combat the sudden onset of a life-threatening illness, Diane Ladd’s doctors prescribed long walks. Her daughter, Laura Dern, found the best way to distract her mother from the exertion was to get her to join her to talk and share stories. The two had always been close. But these conversations – about love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition and legacy—broke down traditional barriers between mothers and daughters, and drew them even closer.
.
They’ve documented these candid exchanges in an intimate tour of their lives titled Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, Love (and Banana Pudding), which includes photos, family recipes and other mementos.
