I was totally blown away by this book, Blue Nights by Joan Didion. I read it all in one day, which is unusual for me. I can’t even imagine dealing with the death of a child, but Didion took me there. I can, however, imagine dealing with aging, both my own and my mother’s, and Didion took me there as well, with insight and grace.

It brought me back to some of my feelings when I was with my dear Sherry as she became ill and eventually died. It hurt, but it was healing at the same time.

READ THIS BOOK!
