The Geography of You and Me: A MemoirMagazine editor and single mother Amy Bickers was putting her life together after a difficult divorce. Her career was going well, her children were happy and healthy, and she'd only two months earlier purchased a home on her own. Then, on an August night in 2009, trapped in her own garage, she witnessed the suicide of her ex-husband.
It is said that each suicide intimately affects six friends and family members. A suicide every 13.7 minutes in the U.S. is tragically multiplied by six: six people who are called “survivors." The Geography of You and Me is a deeply personal and honest exploration of what comes next: grief, post-traumatic stress, and healing. It is a journey filled with dark humor, rap songs by Ludacris, too much cursing, and a perfectly healthy fixation on George Clooney. |
