The Leonard Lopate Show: Circling My Mother

Circling My Mother

In her latest book, writer Mary Gordon describes the most important woman in her life: her mother, Anna. A widow and single parent, she lived to the age of 94 despite struggles with poverty, polio, depression, alcoholism, and senile dementia, inspiring her daughter with her strength and determination.

Mary Gordon will be reading tonight at 7 pm at Barnes and Noble Lincoln Center, 1972 Broadway at 66th Street.

Purchase Circling My Mother: A Memoir at amazon.com.

I agree that there is much more to the clergy than the recent pedophelia scandals. What about the roots of queer culture laying in the clergy? Gay men today are very supportive to unmarried women.
