Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. A short tear to dustjacket. This is Carol Brunner Rutledge's diary of the three months preceding the death of her mother, Alice. With quiet eloquence she celebrates her mother's life and guides us on a journey from anguish and doubt through self-discovery and healing. In the tradition of earlier plainswomen, she fuses deeply personal emotions with universal themes tied to family, community, religion, and work - amidst the stark beauty of the Flint Hills.Rutledge vividly describes the people and the seasons of the prairie, providing insight into how generations of tall-grass people have related to the land. She offers nostalgic memories of her childhood and family history, as well as reflections on the Kansas pioneer spirit and its special brand of humor.Rutledge also records with excruciating honesty her frustration at the insensitivity of high-tech medical professionals who ignore her mother's strong spirit while continuing to labor over a body that no longer works. Rising above these false hopes, mother and daughter forge an even stronger bond as they come to understand that dying is a natural part of living.Throughout, the silent, powerful prairie provides solace and strength.

From the Dust Jacket: "This is Carol Brunner Rutledge's diary of the three months preceding the death of her mother Alice. With quiet eloquence she celebrates her mother's life and guides us on a journey from anguish and doubts through self-discovery and healing. Rutledge vividly describes the people and the seasons of the prairie, providing insight into how generations of tall-grass people have related to the land.

Rutledge also records with excruciating honesty her frustration at the insensitivity of medical professionals who ignore her mother's strong spirit while continuing to labor over a body that no longer works. Rising above these false hopes, mother and daughter forge an even stronger bond as they come to understand that dying is a natural part of living." From the Jacklet's rear panel: "'Between my home in Topeka on the eastern edge of the Flint Hills and Hope on the western side, there are a hundred miles of prairie and sky. This tallgrass land has sheltered my people for generations. It has taunted us and calmed us, broken us and nurtured us, starved us and fed us. It is our span over birth, growth, and death. Death, which beckons now to my Mother.' -- So begins Carol Brunner Rutledge's diary of the three months preceding the death of her mother Alice, whose entire life was lived in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Like Terry Tempest Williams's REFUGE, this book unites a profound reverence for nature with a moving testament of a daughter's love for her dying mother." . INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR.
