Laura Flynn: Part 2

After Laura Flynn read the chapter, she asked if anyone had any question. The first question asked by a mid aged man was how did she know what her mother thought, and if she had interviewed her for the book. Laura Flynn said that she did not interview her mother and just had to enter her perspective. Also, that most of it is based of her memory, and that she did ask other people who knew who and her family what they remembered. Laura said a very interesting quote that intrigued me more than the book, she said, “Memory is imperfect.” I really loved that she said that; because it is true that you will never really remember exactly everything in life even if you take pictures and write everything down. Another question was asked by a college student, she asked if her mother knew about the book. Laura told her that her mother did not even have the slightest idea that the book was written. Mainly because apparently that her mother’s condition has worsened, however she told the audience that they would have to read the book to find out more information about that question. I think that it was very brave and it had to be really hard for Laura to write that book, and think that alone is worth reading the book.
