Did I Ever Tell You?: A Memoir

The most extraordinary, life-affirming memoir you will ever read about the power of love.

DID I EVER TELL YOU? reads like a novel but is an unforgettable true story.

Genevieve (Gwen) Kingston was just 11 years old when her mother passed away, leaving behind a chest filled with gifts and letters to celebrate the milestones of Gwen’s life and each of her birthdays until age 30.

When DID I EVER TELL YOU? opens, just three packages remain: engagement, marriage and first baby. Tracing Gwen’s coming-of-age, the book reveals a treasure hunt, with each gift and letter unveiling more about her mother, her family and --- ultimately --- herself.

This transformative memoir is a moving coming-of age story and an “extraordinary testament to the power of love over death” (Sarah Ruhl, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of SMILE). Like CRYING IN H MART by Michelle Zauner and THE LAST LECTURE by Randy Pausch, DID I EVER TELL YOU? is a life-changing story that “has a scope and power that will take your breath away” (Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of HELLO BEAUTIFUL and DEAR EDWARD).
