From inside the front cover:
Not long ago, Carol Burnett bought a typewriter, placed it on her work table, and began a letter to her three daughters. What she wanted to tell them was what her own childhood had been like. What she didn't want was for her children to grow up knowing as little about their mother's childhood as she had known about the early lives of her own parents. Day by day Carol's letter grew as long forgotten memories came flooding back – memories of a childhood sometimes so painful, for all the love and humor she managed to find within it, that she had barely been able to confront its joys and sorrows – until she sat down to write her letter. That letter became this book.
