Opis

Kate, whose care for her terminally ill mother coincides with the birth of her first child in the early months of a young marriage, must, in a single year, come to terms with radiant beginnings and profound loss. This novel explores the spiritual education at the heart of that fundamental transition: the child becoming the caretaker of the parent.
