The award-winning memoir When All That's Left of Me Is Love is poignant and powerful. Linda Campanella provides an intimate look inside her family and her heart as she relives the joy-filled year and long good-bye leading to her terminally ill mother's death. In the process, she comes to terms with the permanence of her loss and finds comfort in profound gratitude for many unexpected gifts.

I Wanted To Love This
Revisado: 03-23-25
Coming from a place of losing my last parent and being given a stage 2 IDC breast caner diagnosis in the same year - I REALLY REALLY wanted to connect and love this story. I have 4 grown children - my own fairytale life - a husband that I adore … very similar to Nan. But by Chapter 5 I couldn’t get into this story. I don’t know if it’s the difference between reading it and listening to it on audiobook but it felt dry - and the decision to base a lot of it on email messages felt off. My heart goes out to the author but this was a miss for me.

When Claire Hoffman's alcoholic father abandons his family, his desperate wife, Liz, tells five-year-old Claire and her seven-year-old brother, Stacey, that they are going to heaven - Iowa - to live in Maharishi's national headquarters for Heaven on Earth. For Claire's mother, Transcendental Meditation - the Maharishi's method of meditation and his approach to living the fullest possible life - was a salvo that promised world peace and enlightenment just as their family fell apart.

Just Alright
Revisado: 11-03-24
I wanted to like this autobiography far more than I ended up. I have been interested and intrigued by “fringe” non-mainstream beliefs most of my adult life and being a fellow Iowian have known about Vedic City and the TM community and influence on Fairfield for a long time. Claire Hoffman and I are from the same era so her book SHOULD have checked all my boxes. What I’m left with after listening to her audiobook is just “meh” - I tried to let some of what my mind thought were odd recounts or contradictory memories go thinking the book would end with closure and insight but I didn’t feel that way to me. I didn’t go into the book thinking she’d divulge deep secrets of the TM or the people in her life who followed its teaching but I expected more of an enlightened perspective at the end than what were given.
