"One of my very very favorite books of all time. A must-read for anyone who enjoyed Behold The Man or The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, or anyone of a theological/philosophical bent."

“She writes her mother letters in the margins of her notebook, which is against the rules (manual, p. 22). There is no way to send a letter anymore. Also Dana, for sure, by now, is dead.

Determining, through progressive and empathetic conversation, how each member of a family will leave their life, in what order, and when. My family consisted of Alexia. She claimed we had used Family Planning to decide that she would leave her life and I wouldn't. I never agreed to that. She called my memory faulty and opportunistic.
