Sea Escape

In her mid-forties, Laura Tobin Martinez has at last found happiness in her life, with a loving husband and two young children. Still. Like many grown daughters, she continues to yearn for the approval of her rigidly decorous mother Helen. Laura’s world is turned upside down when Helen suffers a stroke, and she finds herself in the unenviable position of becoming her mother’s caretaker and advocate. At the same time she struggles to maintain some level of domestic normalcy. Join us for an interview with Lynn Griffin, acclaimed novelist and nationally recognized family expert to discuss her new book, Sea Escape. Listed on Entertainment Weekly’s “Top Ten Must Read Summer Books”, Sea Escape beautifully and emotionally explores the issues of women's relationships to their mothers, husbands, and children; that elusive balance which so many search for; family secrets that come between us; and much more.
