"In this fascinating exploration of a complex mother-daughter relationship, Elizabeth Wood comes to terms with her mother's flaws and eccentricities in order to make peace with her impending death. Wood also shines a necessary spotlight on the myriad bureaucracies within our health care system that make navigating illness challenging and often dehumanizing. A smartly written, thought-provoking read." --Heather Frimmer, MD, author of Bedside Manners "Elizabeth Wood puts a human face on our health care crisis. She offers a loving testimony to her mother--who lived life exuberantly as an elder dominatrix--and an indictment of the way our health care system treats those least able to advocate for themselves."--Joan Price, author of Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex and the forthcoming Sex After Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality After Loss of Your Beloved " Bound is a deeply honest, unflinching portrait of a daughter's relationship with her mother at the end of life. In this affecting memoir, the intimacies of an aging woman's lifestyle of kink and bondage become fascinating metaphors for hospital life, medical care, and physical dependence during illness and dying. Bound is both a brilliant meditation on helplessness and power and a stirring testament to the strength of bonds between people who care for each other."--Victoria Pitts-Taylor, PhD, author of The Brain's Body: Neuroscience and Corporeal Politics, "Sex, death, and family are some of the hardest topics for any writer to take on.

Synopsis
Unflinchingly honest and darkly funny, this memoir will resonate withanyone facing the complicated reality of aging and illness in theUnited States. Elizabeth and her mother, Judy, have always had a complicatedrelationship. Now they face a confounding illness, as well as alabyrinthine healthcare system, at a complicated stage of life. Nothingis as it first seems in this riveting account of an unconventionalmother-daughter journey--a journey that from the start poses questionsabout love, life, family, aging, healthcare, sex, and death. In Bound , Elizabeth Anne Wood addresses these questions as shechronicles the last eight months of her mother's life--a period she comesto see, over the course of months, as a maternity leave in reverse: sheis carrying her mother as she dies. Throughout their journey, Wood usesher notebook as a shield to keep unruly emotions at bay, often takingcomfort in her role as advocate and forgetting to "be the daughter," asone doctor reminds her to do. Meanwhile, her mother's penchant fordenial and childlike tendency toward magical thinking lead to moments ofhumor even as Wood battles the red tape of hospital bureaucracies, thefrustration of planning in the midst of an unpredictable illness, andthe unintentional inhumanity of a healthcare system that too often failsto see the person behind the medical chart., When Elizabeth Anne Wood's aging mother-a charming, needy, and passive-aggressive woman who has only recently discovered the Domme within her-falls terminally ill, it is up to Wood to shepherd her through the bureaucracy and unintentional inhumanity of the healthcare system, as well as the complicated process of facing death when she has just begun to truly enjoy life., What happens when a forty-something, community college sociology professor learns that her mother--a charming, passive-aggressive, and needy woman who hasn't had a lover in decades--has started seeing men who want to be bound, whipped, and sexually dominated? What happens when that same mother, shortly after diving into her newly discovered sexuality, develops a cancer that forces her to accept radical changes to her body, and then another that forces her, and everyone around her, to confront her mortality? In Bound , Elizabeth Anne Wood addresses these questions as she chronicles the last eight months of her mother's life--a period she comes to see, over the course of months, as a maternity leave in reverse: she is carrying her mother as she dies. Throughout their journey, Wood uses her notebook as a shield to keep unruly emotions at bay, often taking comfort in her role as advocate and forgetting to "be the daughter," as one doctor reminds her to do. Meanwhile, her mother's penchant for denial and her childlike tendency toward magical thinking lead to moments of humor even as Wood battles the red tape of hospital bureaucracies, the frustration of planning in the midst of an unpredictable illness, and the unintentional inhumanity of a health care system that too often fails to see the person behind the medical chart., When Elizabeth Anne Wood's aging mother--a charming, needy, and passive-aggressive woman who has only recently discovered the Domme within her--falls terminally ill, it is up to Wood to shepherd her through the bureaucracy and unintentional inhumanity of the healthcare system, as well as the complicated process of facing death when she has just begun to truly enjoy life.
