Embalming Mom: Essays in Life

Embalming Mom chronicles loss and renaissance in a life that reaches from Florida to Arizona across to England and home again. In sixteen essays of wit, rage, and reconciliation, Janet Burroway weaves her way through the dangers of daily life-divorcing her first husband, raising two boys, establishing a new life, and scattering her mother's ashes. Each new danger and challenge remind us that it's our daily rituals that truly allow us to survive.
