About the author

My new book, Dear Mom and Dad, is the end of a long journey toward understanding my family. My hope is that readers will be inspired to take a step back and look at their own families through a wider lens. Families are all complicated to some degree, certainly mine was, but in this book I also explore the times when there was just love there. That's part of our story too.

Reviews

[Pam Rainey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent. Many can relate to difficult parents who die but never leave us. We can only try to learn from their mistakes as we become parents.

Would recommend this book to anyone who has experienced a parent they either had a parent who caused them to feel lesser than or they felt did not know how to love them.

THE WRONG SIDE OF NIGHT by Patti Davis

What if you discovered a family member you had been mourning for the last 18 years had faked his own death? When Tilly Austin learns her brother Hale did not perish on that odious day in Manhattan on 9/11, she is faced with a slew of unresolved feelings. Aside from the dark family secret Hale thought he had taken with him “to the grave”, Tilly must brave life without her mother as she tries to untangle her feelings about the past and her deeply complicated relationship with her mother.

Davis is skilled at delving into the psyche of the characters she paints, and examining the heart and soul of the family as a unit. An expertly-crafted, brilliantly moving story filled with the heartbreak, healing, and hope.
