Excerpts from a Family Medical Dictionary
Excerpts from a Family Medical Dictionary is an intimate, exquisite, and true account of what it is to help a parent die. This spare, unsentimental book comes out of that experience. In short chapters headed by definitions of medical terms, she confronts anemia, chemotherapy, metastasis, cremation. Brown's is a poignant and unflinching story of how one family coped with loss and learned about the longevity of love. The Wisconsin edition is for sale only in North America.
