A Lifetime in Eleven Days: A Memoir

by Donna KBerger Brau

Overview

A Lifetime in Eleven Days shares an emotional and reflective journal of life in the Intensive Care Unit of a Texas hospital following the authors' mother's emergency surgery. The surgery went well and the updates via phone of her mother's prognosis brought hope, until the following day, when a dramatic downturn in her condition dramatically changed lives. The journal transcriptions evoke childhood memories, some of them wonderful, some of them painful, and reflect the more important aspects of the author's early life. It's likely that the memories will feel familiar to many readers, even as they discover the underlying theme, which is a deeper story of life, love, struggle and loss.
