Praise for Gene, Everywhere
“Talya is one of the best contemporary authors I’ve read lately, and I’m happy to count myself a fan of her work.”
Cassie Dandridge Selleck, author of The Pecan Man
This quiet, grace-filled memoir reminds us that it takes courage to slow down and confront one’s own insecurities and to face head-on the fragility of life’s quiet moments, and yet, at its heart, doing so is the greatest of life’s strengths.
J. Bradley Minnick, Host and Executive Producer of Arts & Letters
“For those of us who are aging along with our parents, Gene Everywhere is a wonderful companion on this journey. In prose that is clear-eyed and authentic, Talya Tate Boerner shows us how profound connections can take hold in the most unexpected ways.”
Brenda Miller, author of An Earlier Life
“I loved Gene from the moment he watched Talya like a hawk as she divvied up his pills. …The same man whose presence feels like such a burden will sit in his room for hours, patiently waiting to be guided down sixteen steps. His war stories unfold in layers, as does Talya’s life. It’s beautiful to watch the pair lean on each other in equal measure. Highly recommended.”
