{"product_id":"lyons","title":"Seizures | Amy Lyons","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAmy Lyons is the person you want next to you at a funeral. She'll have you snort-laughing into your program, and a beat later she'll say the truest thing anyone's said all day. \u003ci\u003eSeizures\u003c\/i\u003e has the Red Sox, pastry-box televisions, a father who once stole a ham in a brown jacket, and of course, a dead mother, and somehow it's one of the most alive books you'll ever read. Lyons is funny without flinching and tender without going soft. She doesn't wallow, she doesn't preach, and she never lets you look away. Just when you think you're safe, she ambushes you, and suddenly you're crying on public transit. You'd follow her anywhere, even upside down on a rollercoaster. Especially there. This book won't cure grief or stop the shaking, but it will make you laugh, cry, and immediately call your sister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e—Koren Zailckas, author of \u003ci\u003eSmashed, Fury, Mother Mother \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Drama Teacher \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSeizures,\u003c\/i\u003e Amy Lyons intricately arranges time itself in order to illuminate the unconfined and persistent nature of devastating loss.
