Title: No More Words: A Journal of My Mother, Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Author: Reeve Lindbergh
Summary: This story recounts the last few years of life for Anne Morrow
Lindbergh, an aviator and author as well as the wife of the renowned Charles Lindbergh, through the eyes of her daughter Reeve Lindbergh. About 10 years after a series of strokes, Anne came to live with her daughter, Reeve. The title refers to the fact that words, once central to Anne's life, are now almost absent.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book especially to family members of individuals who have experienced debilitating strokes or to anyone interested in understanding the emotions that come with losing a loved one. Since Reeve is an author by occupation like her mother was, this book is full of moving analogies and emotional experiences. If you're looking for a technical book to describe the effects of a stroke or other brain disease, this is not it, but if you're looking for understanding of the emotional effects on families, this is a worthwhile read.
