Synopsis
When Don Snyder was 16 days old, his mother died. More than 40 years later, when his father's health began to decline, Snyder realized that he knew almost nothing about the woman who had given birth to him. This book recreates Snyder's mother through her friends' memories and Snyder's own research.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Someday, if we live long enough, we will tell our love stories to a stranger from down the hall, inventing what we must to explain the rush of time and the uncertainty of our place in this world. By then we will have forgotten what we once simply chose not to remember--the slamming door, an angry glance form across the room, the cutting blade of a sentence--and in the telling of our stories we will see again, or for the first time, how blessed our hearts were to have loved at all."
Industry Reviews
"Don Snyder skillfully intertwines his account of his search for his mother and his reconstruction of her life as a young girl, wife, and mother into a series of overlapping love stories...a poetic conflation of past and present, a merging of dream, memory and desire."
Tsang
"By interweaving anecdotes told to him by [his mother's] bridesmaids and neighbors with passages inspired by what he calls his mother's voice, Snyder succeeds in fleshing out even the most mundane details of [his mother's] life....OF TIME AND MEMORY reads like a mystery story and it is that suspense, coupled with Snyder's honest prose, that is most engaging."
New York Times - Nancy Gavilanes (10/10/1999)
