Did I Ever Tell You?: A Memoir

The most "profound" (Booklist, starred review) 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 eleven 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 thirty.

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).
