In the movie “His Three Daughters,” Carrie Coon’s character, Katie, has rigid ideas about who her sisters are and what they’re capable of. When the women reunite to care for their dying father, those ideas become a barrier to true connection and care for each other. In this episode, Coon reads the Modern Love essay “A Family Label, Ungarbled” by Harriet Brown. Growing up, the author was never sure she could feel real love. It took breaking out of her mother’s ideas of her, and the birth of her daughter, to learn what love meant. Coon relates the essay to her own experience, describing her early dating life as tumultuous and recalling relationships she continued out of pity rather than love. Until one day, Coon got a letter from her grandmother that changed everything. Here’s how to submit a Modern Love essay to The New York Times Here’s how to submit a Tiny Love Story

  • It's about three sisters who've all reunited to take care of their dad, who's on his DeathBed.

  • And Carrie Coon's character is really worth talking about.

  • Her name is Katie, and she sees herself as kind of a martyr,

  • taking care of everything and everyone she talks in these fiery, frustrated monologues.

  • The trick is, I guess the thing I'm saying is that I hope we can make this easy on him,

  • just not make a thing out of anything.

  • If we disagree,

  • we talk it out without getting heated or yelling or anything that's going to upset him.

  • We handle it like adults, like the age we are.

  • I really don't see what there is to disagree about.

  • Anyway, Katie is constantly on a tirade on the phone,
