Susan Morse On Her New Book: The Habit

[close] "Highly opinionated, stubborn, and eccentric"—those are the words Susan Morse uses to describe her elderly mother. Several years ago Morse's mother, a woman who "changed religions six times" before finally deciding to become a nun, was diagnosed with cancer. When Morse stepped in to take care of her ailing mother, the two women began repairing their strained relationship slowly. Their reconciliation, which became the subject of Morse's memoir, The Habit, was fraught with frustration, anxiety, humor, and love. Witness Mother Brigid's eccentricity and its curious impact on the Morse family in this hilarious new video from Open Road Media.
