  I barely graduated from high school. I got a D-minus instead of an F in a Government class. The only reason I graduated is I wrote a paper saying Barry Goldwater should be president, as I knew I had a very right-wing professor.

Linda Carroll

My Mother's Daughter

 
Click to enlarge

Writer and therapist Linda Carroll thought things would be different when she had a daughter, back in the mid '60s. Her daughter Courtney, she vowed, would never have to go through what Linda had experienced as an adopted child in the '50s. Courtney was a difficult child, however, who grew up to be a rock star -- we know her as Courtney Love -- and when she called her mother one day to say that she was pregnant, it inspired Linda Carroll to find her own mother. And that opened up a whole new chapter in her life. Carroll tells the story in a memoir called My Mother's Daughter.
