Trish's mother, who stood by her through her darkest years, was a small-town icon as a composer, pianist, organist, and musical director. She is suddenly unable to be the accomplished, independent person she once was. Now Trish has two goals: to help her daughter avoid the mistakes that derailed her own life, and to see her mother's masterpiece, \"An American Requiem,\" find a new life and a new audience in her mother's lifetime. Along the way, Trish rediscovers her own strength, humor, and rebelliousness at the most unlikely moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 08, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58182353158225,"sku":"9798987645062","price":20.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/T43dCW3q539798987645062.webp?v=1757307317","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/my-mothers-requiem-a-daughters-memoir-paperback","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
