An Errant Design is a poetic, moving and unique reflection on a profoundly grief-stricken time in a mother's life. The loss of her grown son catapulted her, unwillingly, into a realm of human experience that is a continent of its own-a mother's grief for her dead child. To be offered a glimpse into this world of radical, raw, and deep feeling-a world of love, loss, agony, confusion, tenderness, surrender, and faith-is a gift to all who read it.
