Summary Anderson Cooper's intensely busy career as a journalist for CNN and CBS' 60 Minutes affords him little time to spend with his ninety-one year old mother. After she briefly fell ill, he and Gloria began a conversation through e-mail unlike any they had ever had before -- a correspondence of surprising honesty and depth in which they discussed 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 in her final years and an unconventional mother's life lessons for her grown son, The Rainbow Comes and Goes offers a rare window into their close relationship and fascinating lives. In these often hilarious and touching exchanges, they share their most private thoughts and the hard-earned truths they've learned along the way. Throughout, their distinctive personalities shine through -- Anderson's darker outlook on the world is a brilliant contrast to his mother's idealism and unwavering optimism. A memoir with inspirational advice, The Rainbow Comes and Goes is a celebration of the bond between a parent and child, and a thoughtful reflection on life and love, reminding us of the precious knowledge and insight that remains to be shared, no matter what age we are
