Did I Ever Tell You?: A Memoir - Genevieve Kingston

The most profound (Booklist, starred review) memoir you will ever read about the power of love. \nDid I Ever Tell You? reads like a novel but is an unforgettable true story. \n \nGenevieve (Gwen) Kingston was just eleven years old when her mother passed away, leaving behind a chest filled with gifts and letters to celebrate the milestones of Gwen's life and each of her birthdays until age thirty. \n \nWhen Did I Ever Tell You? opens, just three packages remain: engagement, marriage, and first baby. Tracing Gwen's coming-of-age, the book reveals a treasure hunt, with each gift and letter unveiling more about her mother, her family, and--ultimately--herself. \n \nThis transformative memoir is a moving coming-of age story and an extraordinary testament to the power of love over death (Sarah Ruhl, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Smile). Like Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner and The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, Did I Ever Tell You? is a life-changing story that has a scope and power that will take your breath away (Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful and Dear Edward).\n
