A riveting memoir about a daughters investigation into the wirings of her loving, unpredictable mother: a woman who lived her life in pursuit of the divine, and who started two big fires, decades apart.Ten years before Nina was born, her mother lit herself on fire in a dual suicide attempt. During her recovery in the burnunit, a nurse initiated her into Transcendental Meditation. From that day on, her mother's pain became intertwined with the pursuit of enlightenment.Growing up, Nina longed for a normal life; instead, she and her brother were at the whims of their mother, who chased ascension up and down the state of California, swapping out spiritual practices as often as apartments. When they finally settled at the foot of a mountainreputed to be cosmicin Northern California, Nina hoped life would stabilize. But after another fire, and a tragic fallout, she was forced to confront the shadow side of her mother's mystical narratives. With obsessive dedication, Nina began to knit together the truth that would eventually release her.In Love Is a Burning Thing, Nina interrogates what happens to those undiagnosed and unseen. This is a transfixing, moving portrait of a motherdaughter relationship that also examines mental health, stigma, poverty, and genderand the role that spirituality plays within each. Ninas writing skirts the mystical, untangles it, and ultimately illuminates it with brilliance.
