Laura Dern and Diane Ladd began to discuss difficult topics when the 'Jurassic Park' actress took her mom on walks to improve her lung capacity after she was told she might have six months to live.

"I thought I was doing all this talking and reminiscing for my mother’s sake, to give her peace and strength in her final months or years and to let her know how she’d shaped me and how grateful I was for her example," Dern wrote."But I would come to learn that this time with her was a gift for me as well." Ladd, who was apparently misdiagnosed and has since received other medical opinions, is now healthier and promoting the book with Dern.
