A Crooked Spoon is a story of life, love, and grief.
When a father has a stroke, his youngest daughter is out of the country on a cruise ship and will be gone for days. The oldest daughter is over 1,000 miles away and leaves her workplace without a suitcase. They struggle to make way to their father's side, not knowing all that has happened.
They find him partially paralyzed with speech that is slowly fading. A cruel fate for a teacher, preacher, storyteller. Daughters become caregivers for a father who is reluctant for them to see him in this condition. They attend speech therapy, physical therapy, shave his face and comb his hair. With his speech gone, the youngest tells him stories and recalls memories from the past to keep him tethered to life in this world.
These poems speak to memory, silence, prayer, unknowing, waiting, hope, grief, grace, growing up, unexpected joy, and most of all, love.
