“This is it, I thought to myself. This is the moment it ends. This is the end of my relationship with my mom. The relationship I never got is over. The window is closing. Or it's closed. I will never get her attention now that the window is closed.” (p. 21)

the introduction was already very interesting. i only know molly from her political writing and appearances on msnbc which already made me want to check this book out. but i’ve been avoiding because i wasn’t really sure if i wanted to confront the topic of dying mothers (since my mom is terminally ill and yada yada). but now it’s time and i’m looking forward to reading this.
