ABOUT TWO OF ME: Notes on Living and Leaving:

Eleanor Coppola is best remembered as the matriarch of an accomplished film family, but in her final memoir she reveals her inner life as an artist, writer, and filmmaker working on the sidelines of her successful husband and children.

In Two of Me: Notes on Living and Leaving, Coppola receives a terrifying cancer diagnosis and confronts her role as wife and mother, as well as the creative challenges of an artist late in life.
Coppola's graceful and introspective approach to living, along with her deep love of storytelling, the process of creating, and the beauty of nature will leave readers with a profound sense of wonder and lasting appreciation for the world around them.
