That was my experience. I wish it upon no one.\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe essays of \u003ci\u003eThe Loneliest Places\u003c\/i\u003e began as a chronicle of Rachel Dickinson's life after her son's suicide. The pieces became much more. Dickinson writes the unimaginable and terrifying facts of heartbreaking loss. In \u003ci\u003eThe Loneliest Places\u003c\/i\u003e she tells stories from her months on the run, fleeing her grief and herself, as she escapes to Iceland and the Falkland Islands--as far as possible from the memories of her dead son, Jack. She frankly relates the paralyzing emotion that sometimes left her trapped in her home, confined to a single chair, helplessly isolated. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe tales from these years are bleak and Dickinson's journey home, back to her changed self and fractured family, is lonely. Conjuring Emily Dickinson, however, she describes how hope was sighted, allowed to perch, and then, remarkably, made actual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRachel Dickinson is a travel writer, essayist, artist, and award-winning author.
