Like so many of her generation, she lived a life both ordinary and extraordinary; shaded by grief, troubled by family dynamics, and restricted by the realities of class, location and gender. Hers was a life where survival itself, the simple act of continuing, was a victory to be celebrated - but one where the reminders of why we continue, the blinding moments of sunshine when the clouds part, were that much sweeter because of it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTender and insightful, harrowing and uplifting, \u003ci\u003eDorothy\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning act of empathy from a son towards his mother. Her story, told through the author's assured, unpretentious verse, is both specific and universal enough to resonate with all who encounter it; to challenge some, heal others, and leave a lasting impression on the world Dorothy came to love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Rathmell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915606322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915606327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Valley Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.60d","brand":"Neil Rathmell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311149371647,"sku":"9781915606327","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61041d2d-48a5-4393-92f7-5c3519304fe5.jpg?v=1730888580","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dorothy-neil-rathmell-9781915606327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
