### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Touching Memory Story
*by M***R on October 6, 2009*

This is a book you will immediately pick up to Re-Read.You will be touched as Ms. Hampl shares her innermost memories of her handsome, warm and wonderful Father, his artistry, unusual ability to relate to people, and who took every opportunity to forgive and forget. Her Mother, an unusual artist herself, took every opportunity to add to the author's life from childhood to the time of her passing in her 80's.It's setting is in St. Paul, Minnesota. I felt I was walking the shopping areas of the city in the 40's and 50's as they are so well documented.This is a beautifully written book. A book you would enjoy reading and also owning.Pearl L. Slifer

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Average lives examined closely
*by T***T on October 30, 2009*

In this memoir about - mostly - her parents, Patricia Hampl examines two midwestern lives of what Thoreau probably would have recognized as "quiet desperation." In speaking of the ordinary people of St Paul, Minnesota, who live "relentlessly modest" lives, Hampl says, "They expect to be forgotten." Much is written here about the virtues of being squarely in the middle - not poor, but not rich either. It is this kind of quiet, uncomplaining respectability exemplified by her very middle class parents and other relatives that made Hampl plot her escape from an early age, that caused her to reinvent herself as the family "rebel." And yet, she admits, she never really got away. She stayed and stayed, caring for her aging parents long after her brother had "fled" to California. Although the narrative bogs down slightly here and there, this tale of her Czech father and Irish mother is, in the end, the tale of a kind of Everyman of upwardly striving middle-class middle America. And as she tells of her mother's final years - that gradual loss of independence, from her widow's condo to an assisted-living facility to a nursing home's "third floor" - it's enough to simply break your heart. But in spite of this grim subject - the story is framed by scenes from her mother's last night on earth, Hampl sitting vigil and trying to write a fitting obituary - there are also lighter moments in which Hampl's self-deprecating sense of humor will make you chuckle in recognition. This is good story-telling, the kind of memoir that will make you reflect on your own life, and maybe want to even write it down. - Tim Bazzett, author of the REED CITY BOY trilogy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful Family Tribute
*by L***I on June 15, 2020*

Hampl's writing is as lyrical as a poem. Her story drew me in from the very first page and I was barely able to put it down. I was disappointed when it ended because I didn't want it to end. A big kudos to Patricia Hampl.
