The Still Point of the Turning World by Emily Rapp
" I it's difficult for me to explain just how much this book means to me. My sweet daughter Allison died of GM1 Gangliosidosis, a close cousin of Tay-Sachs. It's essentially the same thing. Allison only lived 6 months. It was in 1985, before the Int... " Read more of this review »

“It was all so artificial. It was beautiful, but it did not belong to her. She was a tourist, an outsider, and she could only see the thin surface veneer of things; she couldn't get beneath it to the real heart of anything.

Penni Russon, Undine

“She had never really believed in God. There didn't seem any point in it, and he just seemed so, well, unlikely. But now, a world that definitely had no God at all felt kind of... empty. It wasn't really God she wanted; it was the possibility of God.”
Penni Russon, Breathe

“Will you be all right?"
Heater on twice, color contrast down, and keep hitting buttons on the extractor fan until it stops or I go mad. I think I can manage that.”
Penni Russon, Breathe
