So many of us face the sorrow of the final hours when we lose a parent. These sentiments are captured in this journey as a son lives through the last 23 hours of his mother's life. Poetry is the perfect outlet for this thoughtful and private journey. It blends memories of a loving lifelong together with the final lessons from a mother whose life has been a model of courage and faith.
For his second book of poetry, Plouffe again captures the feelings of painful life events through his insights both as a poet and physician. This time, he must live and balance his role as a son and a physician, as life and death decisions are at stake. Once the decision is made, he is reminded of how powerless we are as we wait for life to meet death.
