Can a parent’s transgression be forgiven if well-intentioned? Joyce Maynard poses that question in “My Secret Left Me Unable to Help,” her 2009 essay describing her decision to invade her adult daughter’s privacy in an effort to protect her.
Jessalyn Gilsig reads Ms. Maynard’s essay on this week’s Modern Love podcast. Ms. Gilsig played Terri Schuester on “Glee” and Siggy Haraldson on “Vikings.” Ms. Maynard is a journalist and the author of 17 books, including her popular memoir “At Home in the World.”
Stay tuned after the reading to hear more from her, Ms. Gilsig and the Modern Love editor Daniel Jones.
