In page after page of The Lost Kitchen, we learn from Miriam Green's example how to be a loving and responsible daughter. The wisdom of her words and the compassion, understanding and even humor in her responses to her mother's illness teach us what it means to navigate the struggle and remain buoyed up by one's own resources. Linda Stern Zisquit, Ritual Bath This book is wonderful. It has a unique style that I have never met before. And a strange technique where making food and poetry, and the mother's desperation are all in the soup together. So we get the joys of desire and the crying of family love woven together in a happy mix. It comes alive and speaks to you directly. You awake and sing and cry all at once. Bernard Kops, The Hamlet of Stepney Green A moving and inspirational story of memories -- past and present, lost and found -- set in and around the kitchen table. This book is certain to bring comfort to anyone struggling with aging parents or coping with loss, strengthening your courage and reaffirming your faith even during life's most difficult moments.
