“The relationship between a mother and daughter is one of the most complicated and meaningful there is. Kimberly Williams-Paisley writes about her own with grace, truth, and beauty as she shares her journey back to her mother in the wake of a devastating illness.” —Brooke Shields Many know Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the bride in the popular Steve Martin remakes of the Father of the Bride movies, the calculating Peggy Kenter on Nashville, or the wife of country music artist, Brad Paisley. But behind the scenes, Kim was dealing with a tragic secret: her mother, Linda, was suffering from a rare form of dementia that slowly crippled her ability to talk, write and eventually recognize people in her own family. Where the Light Gets In tells the full story of Linda’s illness—called primary progressive aphasia—from her early-onset diagnosis at the age of 62 through the present day. Kim draws a candid picture of the ways her family reacted for better and worse, and how she, her father and two siblings educated themselves, tried to let go of shame and secrecy, made mistakes, and found unexpected humor and grace in the midst of suffering. Ultimately the bonds of family were strengthened, and Kim learned ways to love and accept the woman her mother became. With a moving foreword by actor and advocate Michael J. Fox, Where the Light Gets In is a heartwarming tribute to the often fragile yet unbreakable relationships we have with our mothers.

How My Cancer Banished Darkness for All Time Written in real-time on her iPhone, Love and Light tells the story of how one woman chose to face stage 3 colon cancer — from the initial diagnosis while waking from her first colonoscopy ... to the moment when she swallowed her final chemo pill with a tall drink o’ water and a chaser of Malibu Rum. The earliest draft was read by her mom, who dutifully passed each page to her dad. They read at different paces and she watched as her mom laughed, while her dad cried — and smothered a giggle when they looked at each other, befuddled and bemused, as the story ricocheted between moments that were heart-wrenching and heartwarming. Pay no mind to the occasional curse word as you navigate the truly personal, up-close, front-row, blow-by-blow, head-in-a-bucket details of her faith-filled journey — told through actual, real-life, uncensored and unedited texts to family and friends … to girlfriends and besties … to a husband and a Hoya … to one sister and two poker brothers … to cowboys and broncos … and a boy next door.
