In The Fifth Season, Lisa Ohlen Harris shows us how caregiving is an act that requires both self-awareness and selflessness. In prose that does not flinch from the hard realities of caring for her ailing mother-in-law, Harris also evokes the tenderness at the heart of this intimate act. She comes to understand that, as she puts it, “this, too, is a holy union.”

Lisa Ohlen Harris’s The Fifth Season, an unflinching chronicle of caring for her ill mother-in-law, is also a love story between unlikely partners, “strangers in blood,” whose chosen bond, though tested again and again, never breaks.
—Rebecca McClanahan, author of The Tribal Knot and The Riddle Song and Other Rememberings
