PRODUCTO:Nombre: Bound: A Daughter, a Domme, and an End-of-Life Story (Libro en Inglés)Marca: She Writes PressDESCRIPCIÓN:Product DescriptionWhat happens when a forty-something, community college sociology professor learns that her mothera charming, passive-aggressive, and needy woman who hasnt had a lover in decadeshas started seeing men who want to be bound, whipped, and sexually dominated? What happens when that same mother, shortly after diving into her newly discovered sexuality, develops a cancer that forces her to accept radical changes to her body, and then another that forces her, and everyone around her, to confront her mortality?In Bound, Elizabeth Anne Wood addresses these questions as she chronicles the last eight months of her mothers lifea period she comes to see, over the course of months, as a maternity leave in reverse: she is carrying her mother as she dies. Throughout their journey, Wood uses her notebook as a shield to keep unruly emotions at bay, often taking comfort in her role as advocate and forgetting to be the daughter, as one doctor reminds her to do. Meanwhile, her mothers penchant for denial and her childlike tendency toward magical thinking lead to moments of humor even as Wood battles the red tape of hospital bureaucracies, the frustration of planning in the midst of an unpredictable illness, and the unintentional inhumanity of a health care system that too often fails to see the person behind the medical chart.Review2020 National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist in Caregiving2020 National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist in Death & Dying2020 International Book Awards Finalist in Heath: Cancer2020 International Book Awards Finalist in Health: Death & DyingSex, death, and family are some of the hardest topics for any writer to take on.
