What the Dead Leave Behind | Rosemary Simpson

This is a reread for me, so I‘m not going to post this as a review, since I reviewed it years ago. But, it was great to revisit this and refresh my mind for my IRL book club discussion.

So many details and a set up for a very interesting historical mystery series, everything from addiction to blizzards to the American Civil War to murder. I forgot about some of the topics from my last read!

The Honest Truth | Dan Gemeinhart

A sweet heartbreaking book about a boy who confronts living with / dying of cancer. I teared up in places. Did not expect to like it so much so this was a pleasant surprise.

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar | Cheryl Strayed

My first cry of the year! In just 30 pages, an awful lot is said. Very poignant and so personally relatable. I cared for my own mother-in-law in my home during her final days. And currently my mum is close to her end, though fundamentally lost to me already , due to the bastard that is early on-set. Complicated feelings, love in all its forms, and utterly human. Beautiful. Thanks for the recommendation @britt_brooke 💕

CBee I‘ve been there. Sending you love ❤️ 4mo

BarbaraBB Sending love and hugs. I know what you mean, my mom is deteriorating fast too. I think I need to read this book too ❤️ 4mo

Hooked_on_books My mom‘s ok mentally, but I‘ve been watching her body slowly, and now more quickly, deteriorate for a while now. It really takes a bite out of you every day, doesn‘t it? 4mo

kspenmoll I lost my dad in increments due to dementia- but someone he knew who each of his children were & her knew my son, knew he was at UConn, etc. the fact that he lost all medical knowledge ( he was an MD) meant little to us- it was a gift he knew us. Especially near the end. doesn‘t matter when or how it‘s always a challenge to lose your parents. Love to you all. 4mo

britt_brooke So happy you picked this up. 🩷 Early onset is just awful. We lost my MIL to it four years ago this month. It started taking her in her mid 50s. Thinking of you, friend, and sending hugs. 4mo
