ANNA ET L'ENFANT-VIEILLARD
Grieving the Living
A hard-hitting novel about a mother's love for her son.
DESCRIPTION
Anna is grieving for a living child. She has lost her son to drugs and a life on the street, despite trying everything she could to prevent his downward spiral. Now Anna's pain is all she has left, as well as her fear that one day she might come across her son begging on the street and not recognize him. The novel tells the story of this woman and her lost child through a series of heart-rending yet never tear-jerking fragments.
EXCERPT
Anna sometimes thinks the day she finds herself before her son's body not the now body he's messing up, but the future body devoid of all life then and only then will she be able to start grieving. She'll take his body in her arms, cradle it one last time, try to see the child she cherished and loved so much in his old-man face. Then she'll be able to say her goodbyes. And let him go.
She won't have to fear for him anymore. He'll never go hungry again, and he'll never be scared or cold either. He'll never be worried about anything again. He'll never want for anything ever again, and he'll never disappear into the mist. He'll be buried close to his father, or he'll be cremated and his urn will be housed in a little box for all eternity. When that day comes, Anna will feel a little peace of mind. At last she'll know where he is.
