Floy Dean: Moments with Her: An Unwritten Memoir

Floy Dean: Moments with Her, An Unwritten Memoir is a collection of fond, heartwarming, and bittersweet memories celebrating my mother, Floy Dean. Though her life was short, her impact was immeasurable. She set an example for me through her kind heart, her strong will, and her unwavering dedication to motherhood. For years, I've struggled with grief, trying to learn how to reconcile my feelings of loss, anger, confusion, and sorrow. The essays in this book reflect my emotions and became exercises in therapy as I wrote them over the years since she passed. Though colon cancer took her way too soon, I feel her presence everywhere and in everything. I know now that her joy lives on in me, in my siblings, in my daughter, and in this book. May this anthology help you find your own joy when life seems unfair.
