Drummond balances irreverence and reverence in a way few memoirists can—making readers laugh, cry, and call their loved ones, sometimes all in the same chapter. Her masterful sharing of her mother’s laughter-inspired joy for life provides a road map for us to live our best moments with mindful enthusiasm and joy, while also fervently leaving us wishing that Hicks was still around so that we could have the privilege of revelling in her playful aura. This is a memoir that will stay with you, long after the last laugh.
