When Rosman's sixty-year-old mother, Suzy, died of lung cancer, she and her sister Lizzie struggled to balance the agony of losing her with their relief that she was no longer suffering. Driven by grief and haunted by the idea that she would only remember her mother as a cancer victim, Rosman, who is a Wall Street Journal culture reporter, used her professional acumen to research an extremely personal subject: Who was Suzy? The book is a funny, heart-rending celebration of a vibrant woman and explores defining mother-daughter relationships in a way that will strike a chord with parents and children alike.
