Gina Mingoia is a professor of English at St. Joseph's University, New York, and a PhD student at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Both her creative work and her academic work focus on grief and mourning.

This collection of poetry and prose explores Mingoia's experiences navigating grief in the five years following her father's death. Split into three sections, the beginning, the middle, and the healing, this collection attempts to comfort readers by showing the journey through pain, sorrow, and anger toward hope and healing.
