Description
True stories and accidental snapshots about undying love, old lesbians, dementia, mothers & daughters, and a disappearing city.
In this engaging new collection of personal essays and full-color photographs, Moed tells true stories of caring for her mother Florence, a broke, Julliard-trained pianist who stumbles into dementia on the Lower East Side. This funny, poignant memoir asks questions both familiar and touching: “What happened to the neighborhood?” and “What happened to my mom?”
It Was Her New York is for anyone who has ever experienced the aging of a parent, the gentrification of a neighborhood, or the unexpected discovery of stifled love and hidden sexuality.
Advance Praise
“Deep love is here for a mother and for streets filled with the history of people on the move. And a New York daughter’s moxie is here too in words, pictures, and humor, attempting to keep loss in the wings for just a little longer.”
—Joan Nestle, cofounder, Lesbian Herstory Archives
