This is a book of remembering. Of keeping hold of the things worth keeping. Of remembering someone you lost. And when you're fifteen and you lose someone, the most important one in your life, you might need help remembering who the lost one was, who you were, and who you are years later. After you've moved on. The Red Jacket is about a daughter's loss of her mother. A book about the things she should remember. The jewels of her family, her child life, her mother's care. All the things worth keeping. Like a red jacket. Bill Morris' second book of essays follows the success of his first book, Notes to a Five-Year-Old, that chronicled his daughter's childhood with warmth and winning wisdom. The Red Jacket picks up ten years later, as Morris writes of the loss of his wife and his concern that his daughter will need to know more of her mother later, while growing up. Morris paints clear and heartwarming vignettes of a young woman's youth, her joys, her sorrows, and stresses, so that his daughter can better understand her mother and keep her close after her loss. These are essays that we all have lived. And a father's kind words for his daughter. A book of remembering of someone gone, so that you can remember who you are. "Wonderful book. What treasured memories..." Ann Walker "Treasure received!" Sally Grey "Thanks for the book....I cried twice." Erica Johnson "Pretty amazing pieces...They leave me inspired." Kate Dickey "I cried several times during The Red Jacket...So powerful!" Pamela Eakins
