From a headstrong youth and evenings at Liverpool's Cavern Club to leaving reliable work for the uncertainty of acting, her choices often challenged her mother's expectations. Yet disapproval existed alongside practical support, especially when Sue was raising her own child alone. Recollections of family life sit beside the experiences that led towards a successful television career, while humour softens an account willing to revisit misunderstandings and regret. As she considers the things they could say to each other and those they could not, Johnston offers a personal memoir about independence, loyalty and the changing meaning of being both a daughter and a mother.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68096489717972,"sku":"TVJ-035654","price":6.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-035654-1.jpg?v=1793068164","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/things-i-couldn-t-tell-my-mother-a-memoir-johnston","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
