After her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, former home care worker and award-winning writer Rebecca Brown cared for her mother during the last six months of her life. This spare, unsentimental book comes out of that experience. In short chapters headed by definitions of medical terms, she confronts anemia, chemotherapy, metastasis, cremation. Brown's is a poignant and unflinching story of how one family coped with loss and learned about the longevity of love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Wisconsin edition is for sale only in North America.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Brown is the author of seven novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe End of Youth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Terrible Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhat Keeps Me Here\u003c\/i\u003e, and her short stories are widely anthologized.
