This is a memoir of Chris Car, the son of Patricia Page. He committed suicide at age 39 alone on a farm road. This is a local author (to Pescadero) published by Pigeon Point Press, one of several small nonprofits under the umbrella of the Pescadero Foundation. The book covers the first year after his death, and is poignantly beautiful. One of the reviews says it is a book to cherish, and I feel that way. I think I'm going to send it to my Mom, who has lost two sons.
The memoir is about the places the author shared with her son, how it reminded her of him, and how she coped with his memory and her own need to go on. She includes many details about the flora, fauna, especially birds (her son was a birder) that she encounters. Its an intelligent, sensitive, very personal look at grief.
