Their love for each other makes this ongoing journey worthwhile. ![]() Helping her mother to regain her independence knocked down barriers between the two women, and her mother learned to accept her lesbian daughter. Here, Rafkin describes her moving back home to care for her mother after she broke her hip. In such essays as "After the Fall," she explains how she has shaken up her mother's world-and vice versa. The fiction pieces in the first part crackle with humor, at times striking a more serious, universal chord: the palpable loss in "The Other One Died," the sadness of an ended relationship in "Tortoise Husbandry," and the hope and comfort of friendship in "Blueprints for Modern Living."
