<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"An inspiring and thought-provoking work."--<em>Denver Post</em></strong></p><p><strong>The sequel to Isabel Allende's beloved bestselling <em>Paula</em>--a loving portrait of a makeshift extended family whose beating heart is its remarkable matriarch--a strong, stubborn, fiercely loyal, and loving woman--who must carry on after an unbearable loss.</strong></p><p>In this powerful memoir, Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her life after the death of her daughter, Paula. But <em>The Sum of Our Days</em> is not a tragedy; narrated with warmth, humor, exceptional candor, and wisdom, it is a remarkable story of life that is as exuberant and passionate as Allende herself. Baring her soul, Allende reflects on love, marriage, motherhood, spirituality and religion, infidelity, addiction, and memory--and tells poignant stories of the wildly eccentric and eclectic tribe who become a new kind of family.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A deeply revealing memoir . . .
