Sinossi
Excerpts from a Family Medical Dictionary is an intimate, exquisite, and true account of what it is to help a parent die. After her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, former home care worker and award-winning writer Rebecca Brown cared for her mother during the last six months of her life. 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.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. 113 Pages. First Edition by the full number line. This is a very straightforward book about supporting a family member that is dying written by a former home care person whose mother had terminal cancer. The book's dust jacket would be in Fine condition save for one small crease/wrinkle on the front cover's upper left-hand corner and some light scuffing on the front cover. The interior book, however, is in Fine to Like-New condition with no visible extraneous markings, detriments, or distractions throughout it, and thus all of its printing is in a very well-preserved and readable condition and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore are sound. If you should order this important book on this subject from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, then boxed and padded, and mailed right away to you with insurance and comes with our genuine appreciation for your order.
