The day my father was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, I decided to go and find him a miracle.Do Not Go Gentle is a transporting memoir about Ann Hood's quest to find a cure, if not an outright miracle, that would cure her father's cancer. Her spiritual Odyssey, with a secret history all its own would take her from Rhode Island to El Santuario de Chimayo, New Mexico, in search of dirt reputed to contain astonishing healing powers. Along the way, Hood tells the story of her family, their immigration to America, and the author's reconnection with her Italian heritage. Most of all, this touching memoir is a valentine to the man who was, in Hood's own words, the love of my life.

About this title

Synopsis

Ann Hood is firmly rooted in the physical world--practical, realistic, and skeptical about many things in life at the cusp of the second millennium. But despite these traits, she traveled all the way from Rhode Island to El Santuario de Chimayo in New Mexico with her newborn daughter, believing she could bring home a miracle for her dying father. Ultimately, Ann Hood discovered the courage to accept what had come her way, and an appreciation for the faith in miracles held by millions around the world.

About the Author

Ann Hood is the author of six novels, including Ruby and Somewhere Off the Coast of Maine (both from Picador). She now lives in Providence, Rhode Island with her husband and two children
