The acclaimed children’s book author lifts her pen in deep grief after her husband, David, dies of a brain stem cancer after a long period of illness and wasting away. Writing with deep love and detail about what she had and has now lost, Yolen bares her feelings in a beautiful and non-bathetic way. A beautiful collection beginning with his last few weeks and ending on the 5^th anniversary of his death. A book to return to in some distant future, I pray.
