Jeanne McCulloch opens up about the experiences behind her compelling, beautiful memoir, ALL HAPPY FAMILIES. She talks about the backdrop of the book - the house by the sea in the Hamptons - and how something beautiful can be both a prison or a dreamscape. She discusses her father's alcoholism and its effect on her long-term, her mother's insistence on propriety at all costs, and how to write about family in a memoir in the best way possible. A gifted story-teller, Jeanne weaves stories together with art and grace. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
