Non-Fiction Memoir
A touching and intimate correspondence between
Anderson Cooper and his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, offering
timeless wisdom and a revealing glimpse into their
lives Though Anderson Cooper has always
considered himself close to his mother, his intensely busy
career as a journalist for CNN and CBS affords him little
time to spend with her. After she suffers a brief but
serious illness at the age of ninety-one, they resolve to
change their relationship by beginning a year-long
conversation unlike any they had ever had before. The result
is a correspondence of surprising honesty and depth in which
they discuss their lives, the things that matter to them,
and what they still want to learn about each
other. Both a son’s love letter to his mother and an
unconventional mom’s life lessons for her grown son, The
Rainbow Comes and Goes offers a rare window into their
close relationship and fascinating life stories, including
their tragedies and triumphs. In these often humorous and
moving exchanges, they share their most private thoughts and
the hard-earned truths they’ve learned along the way. In
their words their distinctive personalities shine
through—Anderson’s journalistic outlook on the world is a
sharp contrast to his mother’s idealism and unwavering
optimism. An appealing memoir with inspirational
advice, The Rainbow Comes and Goes is a beautiful
and affectionate celebration of the universal bond between a
parent and a child, and a thoughtful reflection on life,
reminding us of the precious insight that remains to be
shared, no matter our age.
