Kelle Groom
(Author)
Description
"At its simplest, this is the story of a restless search for a place to be- a way to live- after a series of devastating events. But there's nothing simple about it. Kelle Groom has created a marvel: a haunted, haunting, beautifully sustained dream of a book."-Joan Wickersham

Reviews
"Groom's "memoir in essays" could almost be called a memoir in poems, so lyrical is her language--and so elliptically are events and situations described. It's unusual, but refreshing, to read a memoir that touches this lightly on "plot," unlike most memoirs on bookstore shelves. . . . Whatever your literary-critical framework, Groom's evocation of grief and loss (sometimes cloudy, sometimes scalding), and how we learn to live with them, is universally lucid."--Jessica Bryce Young "Orlando Weekly"
