The Middle Place

by Kelly Corrigan

"The Middle Place" chronicles Kelly Corrigan's poignant journey as both a daughter and a mother, ensconced in that transitional stage of life she dubs 'the Middle Place.' At 36, Kelly's world is upended when she faces a breast cancer diagnosis, an all-too-familiar adversary that her charismatic father, George, is concurrently battling. With humor and vulnerability, Kelly recounts the role reversals and emotional intricacies of caring for the once-immovable pillar of her family while grappling with her own mortality and the responsibilities of her expanding adult life. As she navigates this complex terrain of family dynamics, Kelly's narrative beautifully merges the vibrance of her childhood memories with the stark realities of illness, culminating in an inspiring testament to growth, resilience, and the enduring bonds of family.
