11/05/2009 7:00 pm

"A powerful and eloquent book about loss and incomprehension, and a unique journey of learning and reconciliation."

Kay Redfield Jamison, author of An Unquiet Mind

"With the eyes of a probing detective, the wisdom and empathy of a clinician, and the yearning and love of a devoted daughter, Rappaport traces the roots and remnants of her mother’s suicide. Blending honesty and delicacy, passion and restraint, In Her Wake is riveting and revelatory reading."

Sarah Lawrence-Lightfoot, author of The Third Chapter
