{"product_id":"2940044418363","title":"Phantom Limb: A Meditation on Memory","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhantom Limb is a wise and courageous memoir that moves between past and present, chronicling an adult daughter’s journey through the final years of her parents’ lives. A story of discovering love through adversity as well as an inquiry into contemporary neurology and spiritual life, Phantom Limb is a moving meditation on the struggle to make peace with physical and emotional ghosts of the past. Janet Sternburg write with such warmth and honesty that loss itself becomes luminous: “This is the grace of the last years, the children coming to understand the contradictions in their parents, not to reconcile them but encompass them in a larger love.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Janet Sternburg has found the perfect metaphor for the tragedy of pain and loss, the ultimate inevitabilities of life.” —Bill Moyers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A phantom limb is flesh become memory… Sternburg uses the phenomenon as a metaphor for the loss of our loved ones, who remain intimately with us even after they’re gone.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[Sternburg is] every one of us who has cared for aging parents… She has faced the crucial questions: What do we owe to our parents? What do we owe to ourselves?” —The Orange County Register\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A mosaic of understanding, reconciliation, and ultimately acceptance.” —The Bloomsbury Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Sternburg is so skillful, so acute in her descriptions and so filled with a useful sense of the absurd that the painful becomes transformative.” —Jewish Exponent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Sternburg’s prose is powered by imagistic accuracy and psychological immediacy—two horses that lesser writers let run wild. She holds their reins in a firm hand, and gently guides this book with intelligence and humility… This is a book for anyone not afraid to look.” —Liana Holmberg, Manoa\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foreverland Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156033650928,"sku":"2940044418363","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940044418363_p0.jpg?v=1763663294","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940044418363","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
