"Built on her wildly popular Modern Love column, 'When a Couch is More Than a Couch' (9/23/2016), a breathtaking memoir of living meaningfully with 'death in the room' by the 38 year old great-great-great granddaughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson, mother to two young boys, wife of 16 years, after her terminal cancer diagnosis"--

Review of 'The Bright Hour' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Gorgeous. What a gift that Nina Riggs made the time to write this before she died in 2017. Knowing that her husband is now with the wife of Paul Kalanithi (author of "When Breath Becomes Air") seems almost too-perfect for what is otherwise such a sad story.
