Books by Carol Lee

Mom, Mom, Mom! What is death? What is religion? What is loyalty? What is divorce? When one question leads to another, how do you explain these abstract concepts to children in one or two sentences? Here is the second installment of a tool for parents to use to communicate hard-to-understand concepts to children at their level. Lets not be shy, open the book, and read together with our children. This series is written in simple dialogue format so that the parent and child can take turns reading and playing the roles, which increases the fun in reading and makes for great bonding time.

OUT OF WINTER is a personal account of how a father's sudden illness affects a family fraught by conflict over many years. It charts the process of grief which follows his death in 2008, and that of Carol Lee's mother only eight weeks later. Her mother's death, so swiftly after her father's, tests the limits of her ability to re-configure herself, to find who and what her mother and father are to her now, and to understand her brother's long flight into silence. In OUT OF WINTER, Carol Lee uncovers the history of people - her parents - whom, at the end, she comes to know and love. OUT OF WINTER confronts the idea of how well do we really know our parents?
