There were always little reminders pasted on the kitchen wall. For example  the word THINK. I found THINK thumbtacked on a bulletin board in her darkroom. I saw it Scotch-taped on a pencil box shed collaged. I even found a pamphlet titled THINK on her bedside table. Mom liked to THINK.  So begins Diane Keatons unforgettable memoir about her mother and herself. In it you will meet the woman known to tens of millions as Annie Hall  but you will also meet  and fall in love with  her mother  the loving  complicated  always-thinking Dorothy Hall. To write about herself  Diane realized she had to write about her mother  too  and how their bond came to define both their lives. In a remarkable act of creation  Diane not only reveals herself to us  she also lets us meet in intimate detail her mother. Over the course of her life  Dorothy kept eighty-five journalsliterally thousands of pagesin which she wrote about her marriage  her children  and  most probingly  herself. Dorothy also recorded memorable stories about Dianes grandparents. Diane has sorted through these pages to paint an unflinching portrait of her mothera woman restless with intellectual and creative energy  struggling to find an outlet for her talentsas well as her entire family  recounting a story that spans four generations and nearly a hundred years.  More than the autobiography of a legendary actress  Then Again is a book about a very American family with very American dreams. Diane will remind you of yourself  and her bonds with her family will remind you of your own relationships with those you love the most.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983760257077,"sku":"ByrdShop_1400068789","price":26.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781400068784.jpg?v=1770809399","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/then-again","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
