"A shining example of the strength of mothers. Jocelyn’s sensitivity and humour made me fall in love with her passion for filmmaking and her family. Her resilience is inspiring and beautiful."―Nicole Kidman; "A truly wonderful book, a heartfelt achievement."―Jane Campion, Academy-Award-winning director of The Piano and Top of the Lake; "A beguiling memoir, written from the heart, revealing a life lived truly."―Cate Blanchett; "Darkly clever…Miss Moorhouse's direction is as crisply controlled as her characters' banter, and as quietly insidious in its own way."―New York Times on Proof
