Mom's in There

""Mom's in There is brilliant. Devastating, funny, and full of truth."" -Michael Goldfarb, journalist, author, and host of FRDH, First Rough Draft of History podcast. ""Mom's in There is a testament to the often overlooked and remarkable creative power of being with. The universal letting go is narrated most often by the ever-present daughter, sketchbook in hand, recording this poignant passage from life to death with attentive language and evocative drawings."" -Marianne Maili, author of Lucy, go see. and I am home. ""Mom's in There is a very moving book. There's little that's unique in the story itself - a woman slowly dies while her daughter and a bunch of strangers care for her. It's modern American death 101. But the telling is unique, and the art takes it beyond simple uniqueness to rare heights of the intensely personal."" -Daniel Kempner, journalist and author of the forthcoming book, Saigon Serenade. ""I ended Mom's in There with an aching heart. Sorrow, yes, yet a sorrow that comes after reading a beautiful poem, a strange mix of beauty and truth combined that sneaks around your brain and settles into your heart."" -Pastor Ed Koffenberger. ""This simple, almost childlike, book is a doorway to wonder!...Without sensing the author as an intermediary, I felt that I was there in person, joining her mother as she made the journey from anxiety to wonder, and from prose to poetry. This sweet story soothed my own fears of dying and brought glimpses of the Great Life beyond."" -Swami Divyananda Ma, Integral Yoga. ""I was awed by the portrayal of this deeply personal and intimate journey to death. At parts, I laughed out loud, at other parts, I felt a deep ache. Throughout, I felt profound compassion for this dying woman finding her way out."" -Ellah Ray, midwife.
