Making Toast
by Roger Rosenblat
HarperCollins, $21.99

Making Toast by Roger Rosenblat recounts the year following the sudden death of his daughter, Amy -- a beloved pediatrician, wife, and mother.  The book shows the new life created out of this death as Rosenblat and his wife move in with their grieving, stoic son-in-law and his three young children, Jess, Sam, and Bubbies.  Amy's death changes everything -- forever -- but this is not a book about grief.  Rosenblat holds it back, revealing the loss in painful flashes as he chronicles the simple daily routines in the household.  That's what Making Toast is about -- it's the story of family and how people heal themselves around the inevitable wounds cased by life.
