In this book, based on true events, the well-known journalist Rena Kouvelioti, with sharp and self-deprecating language, captures the daily struggle of a mother who decides to raise her child alone, while simultaneously battling a serious brain health issue that leaves her with little time. Childhood memories, truths, and emotions spring from her wounded soul and are imprinted in an "alphabetical list of values" filled with exhortations and lessons for her only son, as she is haunted by anxiety about his future when her memory "draws the curtain." A book that is a hymn to Love.
