A “breathtaking” memoir of a daughter’s quest to find a miracle
for her dying father, by the bestselling author of The Book That
Matters Most (Publishers Weekly). When her beloved father was
diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, Ann Hood—the author Comfort:
A Journey Through Grief—refused to give up. If conventional medicine
could no longer help, then she would go to any length to find
something that could—even if it took a miracle. In this heartfelt
and heartbreaking narrative, Ann’s quest to save her father’s life
becomes a reawakening of her self. Through trial and desperation she
recollects the story of her family’s own past and their quest to
find a better life in America, and renews her connection to her
Italian Catholic heritage, all of which reminds her of where she came
from and who she truly is: her father’s daughter. With a
sensitive yet strong voice, Ann Hood’s “spiritual quest to make
sense of her father’s fatal illness is rendered with exceptional
grace” in a story that “affectingly explores the link between
faith and family ties” (Entertainment Weekly). “[Ann Hood]
creates an entire world of belief and tradition that sustains
her. . . . The miracle that truly nurtures her is her art.”
—The Providence Journal “This memoir is every bit as
breathtaking as the poem after which it is named.” —Publishers
