Inhaltsangabe

Ruth Candler Lovett, great-granddaughter of the founder of The Coca-Cola Company, came to adulthood in a place of privilege in 1950s Atlanta. In 1964, at the age of 29, she died of breast cancer, leaving behind three small children. Thirty years later, her youngest child sets out to discover the mother he never knew. In this moving portrait of a mother discovered, Lovett finds the words to fill the silence left by Ruth's death and takes the reader on an emotionally powerful journey which celebrates life even in the face of death. Dr. Maya Angelou called this book "tender and sensitive and true," and Bret Lott (author of Jewel) says "Lovett's poignant, powerful, moving memoir is an examination of love and loss so acute it has taken his life thus far to understand its impact."
