When Laura Furman was only thirteen her mother died from ovarian cancer, leaving Laura adrift in a damaged family where mourning was not allowed and remembrance itself was discouraged. This moving and powerful memoir chronicles the difficulties that result, as the author struggles to grow up untended and, in many ways, unnoticed. Ultimately, the story is one of triumph as its author strives to capture the ordinary paradise of family life that so many of us take for granted.
