Comfort: A Journey Through Grief - Softcover

"Comfort is novelist Ann Hood's utterly harrowing, completely spellbinding memoir of losing her five-year-old daughter, Grace, to a rare form of strep in 2002... [A] spare, gorgeously serpentine narrative... Unforgettable." "Comfort enriches our lives... I will most likely never eat pasta with butter and Parmesan or cucumbers cut in perfect rounds ... without thinking of Ann Hood and her daughter. And I have never met either one." "In graceful prose, Comfort bears witness to the heartbreaking particularity of her-of any-loss." "Hood is larger than life, living, loving, and grieving on an operatic scale."

A moving and remarkable memoir about the sudden death of a daughter, surviving grief, and learning to love again.
