Actress Laura Dern and her mother - the legendary actress Diane Ladd - share
their most intimate and important conversations. What happens when we are
brave enough to speak our truths to the ones we love the most? Laura Dern and
Diane Ladd always had a close relationship, but the stakes were raised when
Diane developed a sudden life-threatening illness. Diane's doctor prescribed
long walks to build back her lung capacity. The exertion was challenging, and
Laura soon learned the best way to distract her mom was to get her talking and
telling stories. Their conversations along the way began to break down the
traditional barriers between mothers and daughters. They discussed the most
personal topics: love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition, and legacy. In
Honey, Baby, Mine, Laura and Diane share these conversations, as well as
reflections and anecdotes, taking readers on an intimate tour of their lives.
C omplementing these candid exchanges, they have included photos, family
recipes, and other mementos. The result is a celebration of the power of
leaving nothing unsaid that will make you want to call the people you love the
most and start talking.
