Child of Earth and Starry Heaven
My new book, Child of Earth and Starry Heaven, is about my mother's struggle with dementia. It looks to mythology, science, history, poetry and fiction to try to find meaning and beauty as her cognition fails. So many times during her struggle I had to remind myself to look for moments of grace. In some ways I wrote the book to find those moments and to hold on to them.

| A gorgeous and moving family memoir, with a deeply rooted sense of place. The prose is just lovely, and I will carry this book with me. | |
“He’s not coming back,” Ushi pushed her cup aside. “People leave and they don’t come back. My Jens is gone and my Jürgen, too.” Her voice quavered. “They’ve wrecked the world, these men, and still they’re not done. They’d take the sky if they could. They’d take the air we breathe, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them.”

“Victory was inevitable, they said, victory was a given, but the ladies knew better. Their boys went away, every day they left and they didn’t come back or they came back broken and what use was victory then when everything was lost.”

“They should have hung their heads, but people didn’t feel shame anymore. They lied and after a while they believed the lies they told, and this is how it went.”
