-Booklist
Called "Rich, wise, funny, and beautifully written" by #1 New York Times bestselling author Anne Lamott, Stay : A Story of Family, Love, and Other Traumas is a riveting debut that captures the joyous and painful complexity of family love and loyalty, the cost of family secrets, and the quest to help the people we love most without losing our own way. It's also a rare window into two of the biggest epidemics gripping society today: mental illness and chronic illness and the ways in which they affect relationships, personal identity, and the blueprint of our lives.
Told through the eyes of the author as both a young sibling and a mid-life parent, Julie Fingersh seamlessly weaves together present and past, unlocking the puzzle of her early adulthood with her struggling brother from the vantage point of a mid-life parent on the verge of an empty nest and her next chapter, just as her college-bound daughter's life suddenly careens off track.
Sparkling with warmth, wit, and lyrical prose, Fingersh provides insight and sustenance for everyone wrestling with mid-life's ghosts, parenting adult children, and the twin pillagers of fear and the inner critic. Above all, Stay is for readers who want to think, feel, laugh, cry, and perhaps see their own life's trajectory and path forward with new eyes.

Recenzii
"In this well-written memoir, Fingersh shares how it feels to live through a mentally ill brother's death at 26 and a daughter's ulcerative colitis diagnosis.. Fingersh also grapples with feelings of inadequacy over being a full-time mom, but her feelings about Danny are the heart of her account. Fingersh's story should help readers dealing with family secrets and mental and physical health issues feel less alone."
"Julie Fingersh's Stay is so rich, wise, funny, and beautifully written. It's hard to put down once you start."
"Stay is profound, funny, and masterfully told. It's a beautiful memoir centered on the power of love--the joys of love, the pain of love, the responsibility of love. I read it in a single day. I can't stop thinking about it. I loved it."
"Julie Fingersh's invaluable and highly readable memoir is asking us who we thought we were, how that squares with who we've become and what we might want to do about it. A question every woman I know is asking right about now."
"A rare and compelling narrative about what it means to have a struggling child who is an almost grown-up; a balm for those whose children are on the cusp. Immersive, warm, real--like having a cup of coffee with an intimate friend. I loved the writing."
