As a long time reader of Catherine Newman’s columns, blogs, and other books, I can say that I am a fan. She puts into words the feelings that I have without myself even recognizing them at times. I seriously could have read this book in one sitting, but I forced myself to take a 2 hour break to stretch this experience. Her ability to express how much joy and fear and love and loss are intertwined in the human experience was beautiful. Definitely the right book at the right time for me.
