# Cold Moon: On Life, Love, and Responsibility - Hardcover

by **Roger Rosenblatt** (Author)

**A _New York Times Book Review_ New and Noteworthy Selection.**

**"A booster shot of wisdom when we need it most."--Alan Alda**

"_Cold Moon_ knocked me on my ass then held out its hand and hauled me back up, tossing me into the brawling fray, joyous and more hopeful than ever." --Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of _Tinkers_

The Cold Moon occurs in late December, auguring the arrival of the winter solstice. Approaching the winter solstice of his own life, Roger Rosenblatt offers a book dedicated to the three most important lessons he has learned over his many years: an appreciation of being alive, a recognition of the gift and power of love, and the necessity of exercising responsibility toward one another. In a rough-and-tumble journey that moves like the sea, Rosenblatt rolls from elegy to comedy, distilling a lifetime of great tales and moments into a tonic for these perilous and fearful times. _Cold Moon_: a book to offer purpose, to focus the attention on life's essentials, and to lift the spirit.​
