"Scott Simon sat beside his once gorgeous and vivacious mother, holding her hand, comforting her, and reminiscing, as she faced her final days. The result of those hours spent in the hospital was a Twitter feed that went viral, and which Simon expanded upon to write Unforgettable - a deeply moving, at times laugh-out-loud funny memoir about the colorful lives of this mother and son." -- From the back cover.

Includes Reader's guide (page 245) and a transcript of Simon's interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep in a Morning Edition story entitled : 'We don't fully grow up until we lose our parents', which aired 1 April 2015.
