9 Memoirs for Mother’s Day

One of the best parts about gathering for holidays is the lore that gets dropped while sitting around drinking coffee and picking at dessert plates. It’s a reminder that though you may think you know everything about your people, especially if they’ve been around for your entire life, there’s still opportunity for surprises.

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating the life stories of others by listening to heart-filled memoirs that are full of intrigue: in this list you’ll find authors reconstructing a life through an American pop culture lens, coming of age in an Australian inner city, and opening a cooking school in Paris…despite not being French.

Press play and welcome these new members of your audiobook family to the table.
