Book Review: Out of the Attic by Pamela Spock
Out of the Attic by Pamela Spock is a beautifully written and deeply engaging biography of her mother, Mildred Spock. I truly couldn’t put it down. Pamela weaves together her mother’s life story with care, honesty, and a gripping narrative that kept me turning the pages late into the night.
What made the book especially meaningful for me was how much I learned—not just about Mildred’s incredible journey, but also about Pamela herself. Despite knowing them personally, there were so many layers and stories I had never heard before. This book offered a new level of insight and admiration for both women.
Thoughtfully written and emotionally rich, Out of the Attic is more than just a family history—it’s a testament to resilience, identity, and the powerful bonds between mothers and daughters.
