Winthrop discusses her new memoir about her mother: "Daughter of Spies, Wartiime Secrets, Family Lies." "It starts as a WWII spy story and becomes an intimate portrait of the Washington, D.C. elite in the 1950s and 60s—but throughout it is also an exploration of a relationship with an aging & troubled parent."
