When Robin Romm was just 19 years old, her mother was diagnosed with breast
cancer, and after a brave nine-year battle, Romm's mother succumbed to the
disease.
In The Mercy Papers, Romm poignantly records the final three weeks of her
mother's life, during which Romm struggled to cope with the impending
reality
of her mother's death as well as with more mundane challenges like handling
unruly pets and dealing with her mother's hospice nurse. If you've ever
cared
for a loved one during his or her last days, pick up this piercing memoir,
which The New York Times calls a "furious blaze of a book."

America has been called a melting pot, but it seems better to call it a
mosaic, for in it each nation, people or race which has come to its shores
has been privileged to keep its individuality, contributing at the same time
its share to the unified pattern of a new nation. -King Baudouin of Belgium
(1930-1993)
