“My whole life has felt like a long deeply unsatisfying love affair with my mother. She is the beloved who doesn't love back.”

“I wanted my writing to offer an account of what it was like to take care of my mother, the details of that experience, the feelings, the lived experience. Women often do work like this that is unacknowledged, unseen. So, I guess I wanted to make it visible – not just my work, but this kind of work of taking care of elderly parents, of a child.”
