E.A. Hanks on father Tom Hanks' reaction to new memoir on her turbulent childhood with her mother

Journalist E.A. Hanks shared that her father, actor Tom Hanks, and brother, Colin Hanks, were among the first to read her deeply personal new memoir, "The Ten: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road," which details her childhood with her late mother.

"The first thing my dad said is, 'This is an accurate portrayal of what it was to love and fear this woman.' Once I knew that I had gotten her right, everything else flowed," she said during an appearance on "CBS Mornings" on Wednesday.

The book details Hanks' six-month journey along Interstate 10 from California to Florida, during which she sought to better understand Susan Dillingham — who died in 2002 — and reflect on her own difficult childhood.
