'In Her Wake' is a rare thing: the story of a psychiatrist analyzing her own psychological drama. Nancy Rappaport was just four years old when her mother - a prominent Boston activist and socialite - committed suicide. Decades later, Rappaport, a child psychiatrist with three children of her own, pieced together a complex mosaic of her "mama." 'In Her Wake' sheds light on the nature of hurting and healing, and is a potent reminder that love outlasts death. Nancy Rappaport is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and practices in Cambridge, Massachusetts. |
