Title: The Bright Hour: A Memoir of Living and Dying Author: Nina Riggs Format: Paperback | 336 Pages Poet and essayist Nina Riggs was just thirty-seven years old when initially diagnosed with breast cancer, one small spot. Within a year, she received the devastating news that her cancer was terminal. How does a dying person learn to live each day &;unattached to outcome? How does one approach the moments, big and small, with both love and honesty? How does a young mother and wife prepare her two young children and adored husband for a loss that will shape the rest of their lives? How do we want to be remembered? Exploring motherhood, marriage, friendship, and memory, Nina asks: What makes a meaningful life when one has limited time? Profound and poignant (O, The Oprah Magazine), The Bright Hour is about how to make the most of all the days, even the painful ones. It's about the way literature, especially Nina's direct ancestor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and her other muse, Montaigne, can be a balm and a form of prayer. Product Dimension: approx.
