A Lifetime With Death - Paperback

by Lindsay Fernandez (Author)

A Lifetime With Death is a heart-wrenching monument to the intemperate mixture of struggle, sacrifice, love, and resentment that marks the isolating experience of growing up with a mother suffering from mental illness. By the age of fifteen, Lindsay Fernandez was already world-weary from desperately trying to salvage a family in crisis, ripped apart by her mother's illness. The memoir follows her journey from age 15 to 30 and is a testament to the inexplicable way familial love endures against all odds and all reason. Profoundly reflective and compassionate, the author's journey through anger, grief, and empathy is a story that pierces the soul.
