About
A daughter's love, a mother's final chapter, and the unexpected humour that helps us survive heartbreak.
In Good Grief, Pass the Bread, Mom Is Dead: A Memoir, bestselling memoirist and television writer Angela Nissel delivers a deeply personal, candid, and often hilarious account of caring for her terminally ill mother.
After navigating depression, a painful divorce, and financial struggles, Angela learns that her mother has cancer. Determined to save her, she brings her mother to Los Angeles, where she juggles medical appointments, unconventional treatments, mounting bills, and complicated family expectations. Beneath the chaos lies a lifelong desire for maternal approval and the challenge of finding strength while facing an unimaginable loss.
With her signature wit and unflinching honesty, Nissel explores the complicated bonds between mothers and daughters, the realities of caregiving, and the unpredictable nature of grief. Both heartbreaking and unexpectedly funny, this moving memoir celebrates love, resilience, and the healing power of laughter.
"An extraordinarily profound portrait of love, loss, and grief" — Zakiya Dalila Harris, bestselling author of The Other Black Girl
"I was bowled over by the keen specificity of Nissel's narrative" — Benjamin Dreyer, bestselling author of Dreyer's English
