Unflinchingly honest and darkly funny, this memoir will resonate
with anyone facing the complicated reality of aging and illness in
the United States. Elizabeth and her mother, Judy, have always had
a complicated relationship. Now they face a confounding illness, as
well as a labyrinthine healthcare system, at a complicated stage of
life. Nothing is as it first seems in this riveting account of an
unconventional mother-daughter journey--a journey that from the
start poses questions about love, life, family, aging, healthcare,
sex, and death. In Bound, Elizabeth Anne Wood addresses these
questions as she chronicles the last eight months of her mother's
life--a period she comes to see, over the course of months, as a
maternity leave in reverse: she is carrying her mother as she dies.
Throughout their journey, Wood uses her notebook as a shield to
keep unruly emotions at bay, often taking comfort in her role as
advocate and forgetting to "be the daughter," as one doctor reminds
her to do. Meanwhile, her mother's penchant for denial and
childlike tendency toward magical thinking lead to moments of humor
even as Wood battles the red tape of hospital bureaucracies, the
frustration of planning in the midst of an unpredictable illness,
and the unintentional inhumanity of a healthcare system that too
often fails to see the person behind the medical chart.
