Life in a Day

"Astonishes in its honesty. . . . What greater gift can a memoir bring than a self revealed in all its grubby particulars?" -Rebecca Pepper Sinkler, The Washington Post Book World "A diary of a day that encapsulates the memories, reflections, and yearnings of a lifetime as gracefully as a Fabergé egg captures spring sunlight in its tiny interior." -Kirkus Reviews "For Grumbach, living is an adventure on the magic carpet ride of memory, reverie, and imagination. Life in a Day affirms the ripples of meaning which can emanate out of simple rituals, happenings, and activities."-Frederic A. Brussat, Body Mind Spirit "[Life in a Day] illuminates the way memory has woven itself into the fabric of a rich life. . . . To spend a day with [Grumbach] is rewarding." -Patricia Roth Schwartz, Lambda Book Report "[A] wise and lovely little book." -Barbara Holliday, Detroit Free Press "This is a profoundly optimistic book: a validation of the strength and the tranquility to be found within the confines of the human mind." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
