Unthinkable Dreams

History & Biography

“Unthinkable Dreams is the memoir of how one family loved and lost its mother. It tells of how they tended to her in her last days, how they bickered and squabbled with each other under the stress, and how they came to reconcile with each other and with themselves after her death. It is very well written. On almost every page there is a crisp metaphor or a sharply worded truth that makes us sit up and notice. It leaves us with an honest report of how devastating grief can be, and how lonely and isolating it is for a person to walk the road that leads from love to loss.”
