Audio Book Summary

2017 Audie Award Finalist for Narration by the Author

The bestselling, wonderfully unconventional, “warmly conspiratorial…seriously good” (The New York Times) literary memoir from the award-winning actress that has received fabulous and wide praise. “There is no one else quite like Mary-Louise Parker…Funny, heartbreaking and profound” (Elle).

An extraordinary literary work, Dear Mr. You renders the singular arc of a woman’s life through letters Mary-Louise Parker composes to the men, real and hypothetical, who have informed the person she is today. Beginning with the grandfather she never knew, the letters range from a missive to the beloved priest from her childhood to remembrances of former lovers to an homage to a firefighter she encountered to a heartfelt communication with the uncle of the infant daughter she adopted. Readers will be amazed by the depth and style of these letters, which reveal the complexity and power to be found in relationships both loving and fraught.

    I really loved that she narrated her own book so you could really hear her emotions. This is a great way to write an autobiography.

    I never knew Nancy Botwin could write poetry! The stories in this book not only moved me, but gave me a better sense who Mary Louise Parker is and the people who've helped shape her.

    I enjoyed this book very much. The author narrates and her voice is very easy to listen to. Nice approach to an autobiography, very creative. Each person is a different chapter of her life. Very good.
