The coming-of-age story traces Pfeiffer’s grief following the death of her little brother Gerry when he was 11 and she was 13. “Ink” meditates on the meaning we find in life’s losses. But it’s also a story about particular times and places: about being an earnest Catholic school girl in small town Connecticut; about the transition to college life in mid 1980’s Boston; and about how we all revisit the past to make sense of where we are today.

“In INK, Kathleen Pfeiffer delves into loss and grief, hope and survival with controlled reflection and wisdom. Her prose is engaging for its sharp and pristine imagery, nostalgic description, and revelatory dialogue. This memoir will resonate with anyone seeking explanations for the unexplainable and closure for heartache that never stopped hurting.”
