Then Again

Actress Diane Keaton’s unforgettable memoir about her mother and herself in which, while not only revealing herself, she presents her mother, Dorothy Hall, in intimate detail. Over the course of her life, Dorothy kept eight-five journals – literally thousands of pages on the subject of her marriage, her children, and most probingly, herself. She also recorded memorable stories about Diane’s grandparents. Keaton sorted through these pages to paint an unflinching portrait of her mother – woman restless with intellectual and creative energy, struggling to find an outlet for her talents as well as her entire family, recounting a story that spans four generations and nearly a hundred years.
