"This is a masterfully crafted memoir, an elegant tour de force that firmly establishes Mulgrew as a writer of significant literary endowment. The soulmate to Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes, How to Forget, despite the promise of its title, cannot be forgotten or ignored." --Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors and Toil & Trouble

In this profoundly honest and examined memoir about returning to Iowa to care for her ailing parents, the star of Orange Is the New Black and bestselling author of Born with Teeth takes us on an unexpected journey of loss, betrayal, and the transcendent nature of a daughter's love for her parents.


They say you can't go home again. But when her father is diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer and her mother with atypical Alzheimer's, New York-based actress Kate Mulgrew returns to her hometown in Iowa to spend time with her parents and care for them in the time they have left.

The months Kate spends with her parents in Dubuque--by turns turbulent, tragic, and joyful--lead her to reflect on each of their lives and how they shaped her own. Those ruminations are transformed when, in the wake of their deaths, Kate uncovers long-kept secrets that challenge her understanding of the unconventional Irish Catholic household in which she was raised.

Breathtaking and powerful, laced with the author's irreverent wit, How to Forget is a considered portrait of a mother and a father, an emotionally powerful memoir that demonstrates how love fuses children and parents, and an honest examination of family, memory, and indelible loss.

Tight but stays in place, comfy and keeps you warm
Size: Medium, Color: Charcoal Light Heather (019)/Black
I liked this shirt because it keeps me warm when I'm outside even at negative temperatures, I can work out comfortably in it and the sweat dries out soon; also, the interior of the shirt is made of a very comfortable material. I don't like that this is very tight, cool if you want to use it under your usual sports clothes but if you want to use it as is I would suggest going up a size. I use this shirt almost every day to work out during winter time, I've washed them several times and they still feel as comfortable as the first day.

Perfect for running!
Size: Small, Color: Black (001)/White
None of my running clothes make me feel as sexy as this underarmor does. It is so soft on the inside, which is an upgrade from their old version because I found one at the thrift store that is really scratchy. It has been through a cold wash and the dryer multiple times at this point and it is still holding up. The size is true. The material thickness is perfect for me between 45-35° F. And again with layers between 15-10° F. But I look forward more to my runs that I get to wear my underarmor. Nothing makes me feel more confident on the trail. And I love love love the turtleneck. I got all black because that is my favorite color to wear when I run and it looks perfect. It is a true black.

Great all around and durable. Will last a long time.
Size: Large-X-Large, Color: Black/Anthracite/White
Great hat for being lightweight yet holding the sweat it needs to while also being cooling with the air vent holes. Perfect velcro that moves and does not collect junk in the wash. Durable and is long lasting. Have used for many months and wear a visor daily. It is my favorite.
