In evocative, vivid prose, she brings to life her own heart, the heart of her son--and, by extension, the hearts of her readers. --Andrew Solomon, author of Far From the Tree There is inspiration in here for social thinkers, for designers, psychologists, parents, entrepreneurs.... Her command of the pen and understanding of the mechanics of the heart make this a read ripe with riches.... I dare you to come out of this book unchanged. --Lulu Miller, co-host of NPR's Invisibilia An aching, raw, honest, exquisitely written memoir of art, parenting, and the unexpected places life takes you. --Marie Myung-Ok Lee, author of Somebody's Daughter So moving and thought provoking about the deepest things: the value of life, the varieties of communication... beautiful. --Rebecca Mead, New Yorker staff writer and New York Times-bestselling author of My Life in Middlemarch
