Journalist Katie Hafner, in conversation with author Abraham Verghese, will discuss and sign her new memoir, “Mother Daughter Me,” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 25, at Kepler’s, 1010 El Camino Real in Menlo Park.

The memoir reflects on the complex relationship between mothers and daughters and explores the year she and her mother spent working through a lifetime of unresolved emotions.

Physician-author Abraham Verghese, a professor of medicine at Stanford and a resident of Menlo Park, says this about the book:

“This brilliant, funny, poignant, and wrenching story of three generations under one roof is quite unlike anything I have ever read. I love Hafner’s prose, her humor, the images she conjures, her choices of what to tell and when, the weaving together of family threads to produce this luminous and lasting tapestry. The story lingered with me long after I read the last page.”
