A Lifetime With Death

<p>A Lifetime With Death is a heart-wrenching monument to the intemperate mixture of struggle sacrifice love and resentment that marks the isolating experience of growing up with a mother suffering from mental illness. By the age of fifteen Lindsay Fernandez was already world-weary from desperately trying to salvage a family in crisis ripped apart by her mother's illness. The memoir follows her journey from age 15 to 30 and is a testament to the inexplicable way familial love endures against all odds and all reason. Profoundly reflective and compassionate the author's journey through anger grief and empathy is a story that pierces the soul.</p><p><br></p>
