Throw it all away. Ingrid didn't want any of her art sold, didn't want it celebrated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Two years later, Mattie hasn't done anything except for lock the pieces in a storage unit. She's barely seen Nora since Nora skipped their mother's funeral. Besides, she has her hands full raising the bold, creative teenage daughter she had when she was only a teenager herself. It was giving birth to Beanie that let her escape her mother's house--that and the support of Beanie's father, Gus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But when Nora, an artist herself, falls deep into a mental health crisis of her own, she comes to live with Mattie and Beanie. And when their aunt Karo sets up the very last thing their mother ever would have wanted--an enormous retrospective of her work--the two of them somehow find themselves on the road trip of their lives: up the West Coast of the United States, with Beanie and their mother's ashes in tow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Perfect for fans of \u003ci\u003eDaisy Jones and the Six\u003c\/i\u003e, and told partly in the form of the interviews that comprise Ingrid's biography, \u003ci\u003eDaughters\u003c\/i\u003e is tender, comic story of unpicking the scars of the past, and a must-read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirsty Capes\u003c\/b\u003e works in marketing and lives in Slough with her golden retriever, Doug.
