Short description

A career woman reassesses her parents' lives after she is forced to care for her cancer-stricken mother.

What's left behind the scenes

Meryl Streep asked Bette Midler for permission to use her songs in the film and received her consent.
Meryl Streep's character, Kate, is based on Prudence Pantano Quindlen, the mother of Anna Quindlen, the author of the book on which the plot is based. She died in 1972 from ovarian cancer.
