57:45Now PlayingDickinson’s “Ask Amy” replaced “Ask Ann Landers” in 2003, and now the syndicated column appears in more than 150 publications. Picking up where The Mighty Queens of Freeville left off, Dickinson’s second memoir recounts the experiences that have made her such a successful advice columnist. With her signature humor and high spirits, Dickinson tells stories of her home town and her close-knit family, which was bound by both love and eating disorders. She also talks about finding romance in middle age, becoming a step-parent, and losing her own mother, treating each as a rite of passage in which she discovered new things about herself.
