Synopsis

The collection is Liz Hutner's powerful testament to her son, Sam, bravely battling leukemia. The quietly eloquent photographs by Hutner's brother and Sam's uncle, Simeon Hutner, beautifully enhance this portrait of intimacy and courage. The poems do not shy from the gritty details of the medical ordeal the mother faces with her son. But there are many glimpses of joy, too, often found in the ordinary moment of childhood, so few of which Sam is permitted to know.
