Leeched golden by the gloriously warm sun, with a tropical island style vibe in spite of its elegant urbanization, Australia embodies a vibrant world where cultures fuse with astounding ease. On my very first visit to the Land of Down Under, a local friend told me that Australia carries the whole world within her belly and after several trips to the continent, I am inclined to agree.

Home of the flat white and avocado toast, this unsuspecting epicenter of the coffee world is at a crossroads, as its most towering figures take what they ve learned to enterprises overseas, and leave the Australian city to recalibrate its identity.

When Kelly Corrigan was in high school, her mother neatly summarized the family dynamic as “Your father’s the glitter but I’m the glue.” This meant nothing to Kelly, who left childhood sure that her mom—with her inviolable commandments and proud stoicism—would be nothing more than background chatter for the rest of Kelly’s life, which she was carefully orienting toward adventure. They chatted for an hour, discussed timing and pay, and a week later, Kelly moved in. Praise for Glitter and Glue “I loved this book, I was moved by this book, and now I will share this book with my own mother—along with my renewed appreciation for certain debts of love that can never be repaid.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love “Kelly Corrigan’s thoughtful and beautifully rendered meditation invites readers to reflect on their own launchings and homecomings. Isn’t that why we read?” —Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Water. [In] Glitter and Glue, Corrigan turns the microscope on her relationship with her own mother. “In this endearing, funny, and thought-provoking memoir, Kelly Corrigan’s memories of long-ago adventures illuminate the changing relationships between mothers and children—as well as everything else that really matters.” —Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project. That must be where the luck comes from, the luck required to find a publisher after filling diaries and journals for thirty years, first in a gingham wonderland from Sears, then in a dorm room in Virginia, finally in a fixer-upper near Oakland, California. I hope that somehow, given the toppling pile of books on your nightstand, you can find an evening to spare for this story of how I came to wonder who my mom was before I arrived, what motherhood had done to her and who she had become since I left home.

At only five years old, Saroo Brierley got lost on a train in India. Eventually, with the advent of Google Earth, he had the opportunity to look for the needle in a haystack he once called home, and pore over satellite images for landmarks he might recognize or mathematical equations that might further narrow down the labyrinthine map of India.
