Squeezing the magnitude of his final days with her into 140-character updates, Simon's evocative and moving meditations spread virally. Over the course of a few days, Simon chronicled his mother's death and reminisced about her life, revealing her humor and strength, and celebrating familial love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUNFORGETTABLE expands on those famous tweets to create a memoir that is rich, deeply affecting, heart-wrenching, and exhilarating. His mother was a glamorous woman of the Mad Men-era; she worked in nightclubs, modeled, dated mobsters and movie stars, and was a brave single parent to young Scott Simon. Spending their last days together in a hospital ICU, mother and son reflect on their lifetime's worth of memories, recounting stories laced with humor and exemplifying resilience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUNFORGETTABLE is not only one man's moving celebration of his mother's colorful life,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flatiron Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049559408880,"sku":"9781250061133","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250061133_p0.jpg?v=1763701410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250061133","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
