City of One is a poignant and beautifully written memoir of childhood loss and its enduring meaning. Francine Cournos was three years old when her father died, and by the time she was eleven, her mother was dead of breast cancer. I had been hurled over a cliff, she writes. The irreversibility of what had happened crashed down on me; a nauseating wave of fear and a flood of tears followed. I didnt know who I was without my mother. What would fill the vast space left by the disappearance of this allconsuming relationship? How would I spend my time? What would I become? In answering these questions, Dr. Cournos offers a sharply perceptive portrait of an injured childs inner life, and the movingeven exhilaratingstory of the ways in which, after much struggle and with considerable help from others, that injured child living in a foster home grew to become a happy and successful adult. At once illuminating and heart stopping, City of One is an inspiring account of triumph over childhood adversity. Eloquent and moving.New York Times Book Review Inspiring, insightful, and thoroughly engaging, offering hope and awareness to all who have experienced pivotal losses.Kirkus Reviews City of One is extraordinarily moving. It is handled with a remarkable honesty and sensitivity. This is redemptive work because it leaves us with a sense of admiration for the courage of the human spirit.Jonathan Kozol, Author of Amazing Grace From tragic to inspirational, City of One is an impressive lesson in one womans ability to endure.

Honestly, I expected more from this memoir. It started strong, but then it felt like it lost focus. I couldn't connect with some of the themes, and it made it hard to finish. Not my favorite.

Mixed Feelings About This One
I liked parts of the memoir, especially the author's reflections, but it was a bit uneven at times. Some chapters were quite engaging while others felt slow. Still, there were some great insights to take away.
