Death ends an embittered life and inspires a healing journey.
Join award-winning memoirist Marlayna Glynn Brown on an emotional voyage in REST IN PLACES to understand the alcoholic father she never knew in life by taking his ashes to sacred places after his death. Joined by her teenage son, the twosome travel to foreign mountains, oceans, volcanoes, rivers, lakes and cloud forests to rejoin John Glynn with the world he found so troubling.
A relatable must-read for anyone who has lost a loved one, this memoir lights the way to afterlife and afterdeath where forgiveness supersedes pain, blame, remorse and regret.
Rest In Places is one of my newer books and is slowly gaining a foothold in ratings. It has very high customer ratings so far.
My father is going to die in the next few pages.
In a world of our own design we expect our fathers and our mothers to pass before us. This is the natural order of things. The other way around is an errant blip of the universe; a careless mistake that happens when God is distracted or not paying enough attention.
So while the natural order of things has prepared me to receive this news for most of my life it still shocks when it arrives in my 47th year. And by then I'd almost forgotten about the call.
Until it arrives.
“Honey, you must come! It's your father. He is dying.”
These spoken words come from Wilma, the owner of the house where my father has been living (if that is what you call the quality of life he has chosen.) Her frantic words travel from her mouth in Las Vegas to my ear in San Francisco. I stand in the galley of the yacht where I've been working for the past several months. I'd recently returned to Los Angeles from Europe to help with our two youngest teen children living with my ex husband, and then found an opportunity in San Francisco when my ex husband had turned out to be as unreliable as he always had been. This change in circumstance found me standing in the not-home of the yacht's galley, phone to ear.
There is where I stand to receive the news.
“He is dying,” Wilma says in her high-pitched Filipino-accented voice. “Honey, you must come soon. You must come today. Your father wants you to go to bank.”
