Story Behind The Book
As an only child of a charming and charismatic couple, I saw their struggles within their marriage starting from my own young age. As I grew up around them, they both in their own manner drew me into their marriage turmoil, often trying to get me to take sides. While this didn't work, it nevertheless caused me to wonder more about just who they were. I couldn't figure them out and when I left home for college I vowed that I would only return for sporadic visits. Their dynamics were too hard for me to grasp and it took me many years to come to love them again in a way that a child would want to love and remember her parents. The turning points for me in understanding the depths of love were when I saw each of them die. And in both cases they had lapsed into a coma and I had to decide to terminate life support. This book is the best way I know how to bring them somehow back to life-for me, and for those who loved them, too.
