A Slant of Light - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. A SLANT OF LIGHT chronicles the life and death of a beautiful woman from ovarian cancer. More than a narrative of her struggle with cancer, however, this is a love story, exploring the richness of life, its joys and adversities as well as the complexity of loss experienced by those left behind. Written by her husband, the book recounts their life together and the challenges he faces in coming to terms with her death. In writing he discovers the power of memory to provide solace. From his sadness arises a new understanding of their lives together, while she emerges as an image of every woman whose dedication to life as a mother, teacher, and artist inspired all who knew her. We come to see her life as rich and full of meaning as the beautiful quilts in which she stitched together the fabrics of experience in all its colors.
