Books Seeking rapture

The book is a memoir and collection of personal reflections on a woman's life as a child, wife, and mother. Kathryn Harrison re-creates episodes from her life, exploring how childhood experiences recur in memory to be transformed and sometimes healed through the lives we lead as adults. The essays cover various themes including: 

• Motherhood and Family: Insights into the bonds of motherhood between generations and the experience of giving birth to her own daughter. 

• Loss and Grief: Reflections on the deaths of her grandparents and mother, and how she grappled with grief. 

• Transformation: The notion that a woman's journey is a continuous process of transcendence and re-creation of self.
