Brandon talks with Diane Danvers Simmons about her memoir 'My Mother Next Door' and the difficulty of working through abandonment issues, forgiveness, and reframing her experience. At the age of 16, Diane's mother moved into the house next door with three college-aged roommates and Diane was forced to navigate her life from there. Diane's story is painful, but it's also one of empowerment, as she shares with us her indomitable human spirit.
