Book excerpt: A Time for Flowers is a stunningly intimate look at the lives and relationships within a family thrown into turmoil in the late 1960s, when a couple's two vibrant young daughters are diagnosed with a life-altering disease. Factual in every detail, Nomi's story, told with compelling honesty, poignance and humor, is not about illness nor is it about dying; indeed, it is a celebration of the life of a remarkable young girl who happened to have a chronic progressive illness. Nomi's life was not easy, but her message was simple: ". . . I don't want my mother or father to ever feel bad about me, because I had a more wonderful fulfilling life than anyone who's lived 'til eighty practically. That's more than most people can say." Those were among Nomi's final thoughts, eloquently spoken into a small cassette recorder as she was nearing the end of her life. The quote appearing in the very beginning of the book, transcribed from the same tape, is the driving incentive that prompted the author, her mother, to tell the story as Nomi specifically requested. A stirring family journey, through which, against all but insurmountable odds, a child managed to flourish, A Time for Flowers will hold its readers engaged from cover to cover, and leave them pondering life's priorities.
