"Hester Kaplan does with memoir what her acclaimed father Justin did with biography—finds the right subject, makes it new, and teaches us how to write with great compassion and grace." —Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
"Justin Kaplan was a brilliant biographer and a role model for many of us. In this intimate and unflinching look at her oh-so-private father, Hester Kaplan makes clear she has inherited Justin's genes for understated, artful and illuminating narrative." —Larry Tye, author of Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon
