She is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Middle Place, Lift, and Glitter and Glue. She is also the creative director of The Nantucket Project and host of their conversation series about what matters most. She lives near Oakland, California, with her husband, Edward Lichty, and her daughters, Georgia and Claire.
“That she is so candidly aware of her own shortcomings . . . makes
the journey of discovery with her great fun.”—USA Today
“Kelly Corrigan wrote the book—well, make that four—on the
heart-tugging joyride that happens in real life. Whether she’s
being diagnosed with cancer in her thirties or watching her
bigger-than-life father beat cancer or wryly observing other family
members as well as herself, Corrigan’s books are inspiring as well
as so much fun to read.”—Parade
“With heartfelt humor and penetrating insight, Corrigan uses the
pain, anguish, failure, and occasional successes in her life to
explore the vital connection between the words we say and the
relationships we develop, both with the people around us and
ourselves. Punctuated with her signature warmth and unflinching
honesty, her introspective musings gush with empathy for every
partner, parent, child, or friend who has said the wrong thing at
the wrong time. At times laugh-out-loud funny but overwhelmingly
bittersweet, this brief book spans time and experience to drive
home a seemingly simple but significant message: finding the right
words is a lifelong journey. Other phrases include ‘I Love You’ and
‘No Words at All.’ Moving and deeply personal, Corrigan’s portraits
of love and loss urge readers to speak more carefully and hold on
tighter to the people they love.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred
review)
“This book is beautiful. It’s funny and real and fearless and deep
in a way that made me grateful it exists.”—Judd Apatow
“Tell Me More, a memoir so beautifully honest in its depiction of
love and loss, transformed me.”—Imbolo Mbue, New York Times
bestselling author of Behold the Dreamers
“Tell Me More is a testament to the idea that the things we
say matter, that our words have the power to comfort and uplift,
empower and inspire. Kelly Corrigan takes on all the big, difficult
questions here, with great warmth and courage. As life unfolds,
this is a book I will go back to again and again.”—Glennon
Doyle
“It is such a comfort just knowing that Kelly Corrigan exists: she
is somehow both wise and self-deprecating; funny but unafraid of
pain; frank but gentle. She is the sister/mother/best friend we all
wish we could have—and because of this big-hearted book, we all get
to.”—Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not Apply
“With full-bodied humor and radical sensitivity, Kelly Corrigan
transforms the mundane pain of life into a necessary spiritual text
of sorts, one that reminds us that we have the right to grieve but
the obligation to be grateful. This book will remind you that you
are human—and of the fragile loveliness of being so.”—Lena Dunham
