Poet Miriam Sagan's intimate, poignant, comical memoir begins with the death of her husband, a thirty-six-year-old Zen Priest. She approaches grief in typical baby boomer fashion: going to Korea, attending weightlifting classes, and searching for new lovers. She ultimately finds that she is not alone, and that she is surrounded with continuity, community, and all the beauty that is life.

Review:

Mustard Seed radiates profound light on death and mourning, facts of life often shrouded by impenetrable darkness. -- The Eagle (August 2003)

Sagan writes as though she is recounting the tale to an old friend... she confides in her readers with refreshing -- Albuquerque Journal.

She wrests peace from travel, books, videos, friends and religions...to make sense of a common phenomenon so commonly misunderstood. -- The Clarion-Ledger (August 2003)

a delight, brimming with emotional intelligence and lots of humor. Not just for widows or wives, or even women, Sagan’s -- Body & Soul Magazine (Sept/Oct 2003)

highs and lows register viscerally thanks to her keen observations and powder-keg prose, infusing her story with a huge heart -- Dallas Morning News (August 2003)
