Synopsis
This tender, quiet, unsentimental yet affecting memoir describes how Roger Rosenblatt and his wife moved in with his son-in-law to help raise their grandchildren after the sudden death of their daughter at the age of 38. The quotidian routines of the atypical family, the personalities of his living and dead relatives, the challenges of children, and the subtle depths of grief are the subjects of Rosenblatt's remarkable work of nonfiction.

Industry Reviews
"Read it with a box of tissues at the ready....[Rosenblatt] makes us weep when the children cry for their mother and laugh when he 'reads' hilarious invented selections from THE LETTERS OF JAMES JOYCE to his autocratic, not-yet-two-year-old grandson....This stirring memoir--filled with loving memories of his only daughter at various stages in her tragically abbreviated life and a glowing record of his grandchildren's resilient development over a difficult year--will be an extraordinary gift to Amy's children someday."
(03/02/2010)

"[A] lovely and moving memoir..."
(02/28/2010)

"The story is about coping with grief, caring for children and creating an ad hoc family for as long as this particular configuration is required, but mostly it's a textbook on what constitutes perfect writing and how to be a class act....[W]ith luck...many readers...will turn to this for information on how to live a treacherous life with wit, humor, courage and good manners strong enough to hold back the demons of monstrous death and meaningless loss."
(02/19/2010)

"Rosenblatt avoids the sentimentality that might have weighed down the story; he writes with humor and an engagement with life that makes the occasional flashes of grief all the more telling. The result is a beautiful account of human loss, measured by the steady effort to fill in the void." (starred review)
(09/28/2009)

"[T]his gem of a memoir...[is] deceptively simple in its proportions, but in truth: sad, funny, brave and luminous -- see how it catches the light."
(03/07/2010)
