Review “Bracingly honest and deeply comforting.” -- A People magazine Book of the WeekLittle Matches is gripping and true in all ways, and I am so glad to have spent time in the company of Maryanne and Caitlin. This is a fine, affecting memoir that will stay with me for a very long time. -- Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion and The Interestings“This luminous, harrowing memoir is a tale of a mother’s devotion and grief, yes, but when I closed Little Matches, tears standing still in my eyes, I was left with a sense that I had met not one but two remarkable spirits, my world enlarged.” -- Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance and Hourglass“A brave exploration into the power and depth of what it means to love and be loved, and the grief that is both the cost and measure of that love. It is a book about hope, revealing the light that continues to connect us to all those we’ve loved.” -- Laura Lynne Jackson, NYT bestselling author of Signs and The Light Between Us“Here is love in ink, and you will feel it: a book about life, including death. O’Hara’s great achievement is showing us that inside of human connection, everything has a home-despair, hope, fear, beauty, decay. It turns out that death poses no threat to love.” -- B. J. Miller, author of A Beginner’s Guide to the EndThe bravest and most generous of memoirs, Little Matches is the diary of your dearest friend, intimate and universal, an exquisitely written poem of deepest love, grief, and devotion. This is a journey of the soul. I feel haunted by these pages and profoundly blessed to have read them.” -- Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice and Every Note Played“To the stalwart scientists and physicians who go to battle in service of the seriously sick, who peer into microscopes and imagine the unseeable deep within to discover cures, I urge you to pick up your heads and look through the lens of Maryanne OHaras Little Matches to fully understand your power, to know what is at stake in your pursuits to transform hope to joy, tears to laughter, and to feel the weight of what happens if we fail.” -- Patrick R. Connelly, PhD, Senior Vertex Fellow, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Maryanne O’Hara has written an extraordinary book, beautiful, heartbreaking, and so full of life on every page that I was reminded that loving deeply is full of risk and the only way to live. This is the most meaningful book I’ve read in a very long time. -- Jane Bernstein, author of The Face Tells the Secret and Rachel in the World“A raw yet comforting journal of grief, pain, and sparks of hope.” -- Kirkus Reviews“In this vividly written memoir novelist O’Hara shares a painful but ultimately beautiful account of her daughter Caitlin’s life with cystic fibrosis. . . . Her compelling story will resonate with anyone seeking a light in the darkest depths of grief.” -- Library Journal “Gripping and true in all ways. This fine, affecting memoir will stay with me for a very long time.”-Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion“In this vividly written memoir novelist O’Hara shares a painful but ultimately beautiful account of her daughter Caitlin’s life with cystic fibrosis. . . . Her compelling story will resonate with anyone seeking a light in the darkest depths of grief.”-Library JournalIn the vein of The Year of Magical Thinking and Beautiful Boy, an emotionally raw and inspiring memoir that illuminates a mother’s grief over the loss of her adult child and considers the hope of soulful connections that transcend the boundary of life and death.When their only child was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) at the age of two, Maryanne O’Hara and her husband were told that Caitlin could live a long life or be dead in a matter of months. Thirty-one years later, Caitlin lost her battle with this devastating disease following an excruciating two-year wait on the transplant list and a last-minute race to locate a pair of healthy lungs.
