Excerpt from SOLACE: “My other work, as a therapist, is partly to listen. One of my social-work clients said to me, when I asked her what she had hoped for in her marriage, ‘Somebody to Listen.’ There is a kind of beauty in my work at times that makes me believe it’s worthwhile. It’s as if I’m holding my warmth close to someone else–as I was with the woman who couldn’t speak–and helping them to melt the pain that has caused them to freeze inside.”

One reader’s review: “…a beautifully written portrait of a mother and her family. Spelman’s examination of her mother’s life is deeply poignant and will resonate with all readers who recognize–and perhaps struggle with—the complexity of family relationships….Spelman is able to uncover significant pieces of the puzzle of who her mother really was. The journey is worth taking, It’s a terrific read.”
