“And then I feel guilty, because I know all these offers are made in vain. I know I cannot get my mother back healthy for a day. ... My mom is sick, sick and dying, and no bargaining will change that. And it's in all the books, bargaining, which makes me embarrassed. Look at me grieving my textbook grief. - 150”

“There came a moment in this journey when I freely realized that the lives most of lead are small. Important, but small. Our radius reaches family, clients, friends for whom we do selfless and amazing feats. But our sphere of influence is local.... So our illnesses/deaths are small, too. Not unimportant. Just local in nature... - 209”

Hi Robin, nice to know You... lets share any good info
Well Robin, I've added The Mother Garden and your other book The Tilt to my to-read list.
Wow, I can't believe Robin Romm is actually my friend on Good Reads! Color me star struck! Ha. Ms. Romm, your book "The Mother Garden" was by far one of the best books that 2007 has sprung on me. I have passed it onto my mother, who passed it on to my aunt, who passed it on to my other aunt, who passed it on to my cousins -- and everyone who reads it falls just as in love with it as I did. Thank you for creating such a beautiful work of art to share with the world!
