If you’re in it for the stargazing, you’ll be rewarded with plenty — but that’s not what lingers most after the telling.

A brilliant end-run around the one-sidedness of a traditional memoir.

Mostly a series of heartwarming personal conversations between a daughter and her sick mom. Even the hardest of hearts might shed a tear or two thanks to the ways in which this book forces the reader to consider their own relationship with their mother.

From their favorite colors to the legacy they share as single mothers and award-winning artists, this becomes a very full and generous picture of a mother and daughter, imbued with genuine gratitude..

Intimate.
