Familiar figures Agatha and Eleanor come to life from dusty pages, and we find new humility and understanding from Florence and Camille. Little Lincoln's mother catches us at our core, and the author's own battle with cancer catches at our breath. It is a book that celebrates the female, that alchemical mix of perseverance and grace with the potential to \"raise a daughter full of sparks dying \/\/ on their way to the heavens.\" A book that will make you want to call your mom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e -Joanna Lee\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eDissections\u003c\/em\u003e and founder of River City Poets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEleanor, Speak\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates women, among other things-from Camille Claudel to a greasy-spoon waitress, from an oncology nurse in Boston to \u003cem\u003eNotre-Dame de Paris\u003c\/em\u003e herself.
