About the Book
Synopsis from Publisher...
Peabody and Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker Larkin McPhee brings the same penetrating curiosity and emotional depth that have defined her acclaimed film career to her debut memoir I’ll See You in My Dreams: A Sister’s Memoir (June 10, Köehler Books). In the book, she shares a deeply personal story of her brother Charles McPhee, the nationally known dream expert and host of The Dream Doctor Show, whose life, work, and death from ALS left an incredible mark on his family and on the thousands of listeners who found meaning and comfort in his voice.
For more than three decades, McPhee has been one of public television’s most trusted voices - a director, producer and writer whose work has consistently illuminated the human condition across some of the most pressing subjects of our time.
Starting out at Smithsonian World and National Geographic EXPLORER, she went on to NOVA, PBS’s flagship science series, where she earned an Emmy Award for her work on the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. A graduate of Middlebury College, she later established herself as an independent filmmaker based in Minneapolis Minnesota. She won several Emmy’s for her work on Troubled Waters: A Mississippi River Story and earned the Peabody award for a PBS special on the illness of depression.
As an independent, McPhee has directed and produced a body of work spanning the full range of human experience. She is perhaps best known for her critically acclaimed NOVA special Dying to Be Thin, a pioneering exploration of eating disorders, narrated by Susan Sarandon; Depression: Out of the Shadows, a landmark ninety-minute PBS national special, and Caring for Mom & Dad, narrated by Meryl Streep, which premiered in primetime on PBS in 2015.
