Former Nickelodeon star, Jennette McCurdy, wrote a memoir titled, I'm Glad My Mom Died, focusing on her relationship with her mother. Ms. McCurdy's voice is authentic, humorous, and resolute in her recounting of the abuse she experienced in her family system and the entertainment industry. It is a nuanced tale of the relationship between mother and daughter, filled with filial love, maternal manipulation, and intergenerational trauma, enduring through her childhood, adulthood, and after her mother's passing.
