Digging Through The Bones

In November 2013, Christina Ruotolo lost her mother to a rare cancer and just 111 days later, her father died of a broken heart. At age 34, Christina was left orphaned in just a matter of days. What follows is a poet's deep, rooted excavation and healing journey through the layers of what was and what still remains.... memories. This nostalgic and healing journey sifts through grief, loss, remembrance and yes, joy allowing readers to escape to the most precious of their own life memories. Opening up this poetry collection is like opening up a family cedar chest brimming with all the things that make us who we are and who we are destined to be.
