    About this ebook

    Collected here are the most important things my mother used to say to me as many times as she could before she died. This multi-chapter memoir is a journey backwards through my own memory, trying to recapture the spirit and context of each of these sayings as she said them back then and trying to figure out not only why she said these things, but how they fit into my life today.
