“Jody Gelb has written a book so rare and elegant and beautiful that I don’t even know how to categorize it: Essay? Poetry? Memoir? I think I might just call it a “monument”. What a stunning work of art, of truth, and of love.” #memoir #kelsonbooks

Awful and wonderful.
I love these words from an editor in Boston.
-I can't tell you how good it is. How affecting. And how artful - I loved that it was associative and freewheeling and personal, not weighed down with journalese, with facts and figures. It is awful and wonderful.-

“this book may be brief, but it packs a lot into every chapter. Her use of brevity + language is astonishing for a first-time author.
VERDICT A short but emotional read. Great for memoir fans + patrons who don’t typically gravitate toward nonfiction.” -Library Journal

My first book reading at The Corner Bookstore in NYC. An independent bookstore since 1978. Friends + family + colleagues from Titanic ( the musical) + The Who’s Tommy. They all showed up. It was a magical dream. #memoir #actor #mother #writer #thecornerbookstore
