Another Kind of Time

Rating:
Summary: Beautifully published, Beautifully written
Review: A daughter writes a painful but beautiful, story of what it means to make the worst of times ( her mother , dying ) into a lesson in love, courage and truth. For what it's worth, I meant to start the book and read it as time permitted, but it was impossible to stop. Brady's experience shows that a family's darkest times can bring incredible insight and revelation, and yes...., bliss.

Review: This beautifully published book, liberally sprinkled with the author's own watercolor paintings, speaks to all of us who have lost a loved one to cancer. This book is a compilation of family and personal history and excerpt from Ms. Brady's personal journal during her mother's illness. Joan Brady and her siblings sought to heal their relationships while assisting their mother in her last months , and they effected a healing for all. A beautiful testimony.

Summary: Slow reading. Rambling at times.
Review: This book was okay. To me it read slow and she rambled. I think there was too much concentration on the background of "Mommy" and her childhood, therefore the story gets lost on the author's reminiscing. The plus side, it's the story of the mother/daughter realtionship and how that progresses.
