At first, one hears only the pain. Then one hears the courage, the strength and the indomitable faith.” ─ Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People “Kiss Me Goodnight is a living testimony to the power of a mother’s love and the nature of immortality. This book will heal people!" ─ Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom, My Grandfather’s Blessings The women whose stories, poems, and essays appear in Kiss Me Goodnight are courageous. They write vivid and haunting descriptions of the cancer, suicide, alcoholism, accidents, Nazis, and other agents of death that killed their mothers. They also capture the sweet memories of their mothers the color and smell of their clothes, the taste of the food they prepared, the light on their faces, the texture of their hair, and the memory of their kisses. Kiss Me Goodnight takes readers out of their heads and into their hearts, where healing may begin.
