About this title

Review:

""Love, Ellen is the story of the extraordinary bond of love between Betty DeGeneres and her daughter, Ellen. It's an intimate look at a celebrated family that lived a very typical American life. And it is the chronicle of a remarkable friendship that grew stronger as mother daughter learned to be more honest with each other, and more honest with themselves."--"Out Front (Colorado)"Touching...Betty DeGeneres has a story worth telling."--"People

From the Author:

tell of book's broad, general appeal and of book tour
I hope lots of you will read and enjoy and learn from Love, Ellen. It is truly a story of a mother/daughter journey - together and separately. I tell of my journey to acceptance of my gay daughter. It's also a detailed story of what it takes to build a career from ground zero based on Ellen's letters to me over the years. I think many women will relate to my journey from a traditional, conservative background, through troubled marriages, through cancer, to being a strong, happy, independent woman.
