Description
“When Carole Bruno was well on her way to publishing her first book, Nathan: Love, Remembrance, and a Grandmother’s Journey Through Grief, she joined my memoir-writing class with a stack of handwritten papers and yellow pads piled in front of her. Taking copious notes from the lecture and always the willing participant in sharing her work with the class, Carole had me convinced that my learned advice was landing well and would display elegantly in her work. But Carole follows a unique path carved of steadfast spirituality, unassailable determination, and grit that led her to produce a masterpiece of devotion in a tribute to her beloved grandson—bucking my profound counsel all the way. She was right to do so, as she turns grief into a purposeful expression of celebration as only she can. Chatter from My Heart: Whispers From Heaven is her second book. As with Nathan, a portion of the proceeds will go to organizations supporting grief-torn families everywhere. Carole and husband, Ed, split their time between Rhode Island and the deserts of the Southwest.” —Danna Weber, MA English
