Survival becomes art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book navigates between the story of a woman who believes herself to have been an unwanted birth, \"a thing of despair\"; the confusion of family relationships; a father's suicide; and questions from a therapist. As the speaker confronts her own past, spiritual ambivalence and childhood scenes weave together in a dark pastiche.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA series of oil paintings reveal the story in an oblique way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaren Rigby, Foreword Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kitsap Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942661849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Marnie Holt Swenson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403492061365,"sku":"9781942661849","price":29.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e77fa9cf-6340-45f6-a59c-b0fd003a7859.jpg?v=1774969410","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-migratory-moment-everything-anything-nothing-at-all-9781942661849","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
