Catching Rain
A woman rediscovers herself in stories her lover has forgotten.
Balboa Press (2022)
ISBN: 9798765226247
“Catching Rain” embraces the agony and ecstasy of life through intimate stories that demonstrate how love, humor, and joy can dance with grief and loss.
It is about dementia and end-of-life care, but also about facing conflict and acknowledging cultures of dominance while sowing seeds of rebellion and resilience. These narratives are unapologetically honest, intensely intimate, and sometimes controversial.
Paris encourages us to get uncomfortable and consider how we come to believe what we think we know. To take risks, embrace disappointment and rest in ambiguity. This book will resonate with mature readers.
Paris writes for the exhausted and bewildered caregivers of the world. She stands with courageous advocates who speak for those without a voice. Catching Rain is also a tribute to the brave hearts who open their minds and free one another to let fly the secrets that keep us all tethered. And it is for the lovers who choose to stay and bear witness to the brutality of life. They will also be privileged to behold the luminous glow that shines through.
