RACHEL ELIZA GRIFFITHS

“In prose as luminous as her verse, Rachel Eliza Griffiths has written a testament to the human spirit’s ability to withstand a sundering–and to emerge with a heart made wider by the breaking.” –Suleika Jaouad, author of Between Two Kingdoms

“Rachel Eliza Griffiths has knitted together, from grief, rage, and love, a remarkable memoir: searching and tender and filled with something like grace.”–Christina Sharpe, author of Ordinary Notes

“Every page of this book reads like an offering, reminding us how we all endure–and can even bloom_through the beauty and the breaking.” –Isaac Fitzgerald, author Dirtbag, Massachusetts

“This profoundly felt account moves between the raw, the lyrical, and the elegiac as it seeks the light of healing.”–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“With grace and soft humor, Griffiths charts a path through devastation: poetic, heartbreaking, and life-affirming, this grief-streaked self-portrait makes a major impression.”–Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Griffiths brilliantly conveys the relentless power of grief and of enduring love…An extraordinary testimonial to an extraordinary friendship.”–Lesley Williams, Booklist (starred review)
