Beschreibung

Isobella Jade details her emotional journey through sudden loss and the objects found in her father's car after he unexpectedly died in a fire at his home. Jade's bittersweet memories are once a meditation on loss and making sense of grief through heirlooms and of turning a tragic event into one of life's richest experiences. 


A tattered wallet, a Giants hat, a pocketknife, a jacket, a clipboard, a thermos and other unexpected keepsakes create a doorway for memories left behind, healing and ultimately acceptance and forgiveness. While Jade searches for other artifacts of her father's life she explores a painful journey through his alcohol addiction and depression, and his many complexities. 


The title Running Rebel & Mad Dog references her nickname as a child, as a runner, and her father's nickname as a wild teenager and foster child.

Jade writes endearingly about being a runner, and how it shaped her early life, laying the foundation that kept her relationship with her father from crumbling. Anyone who holds onto cherished memories of lost loved ones will be captivated by Jade's absorbing look at the special meaning objects can hold in our lives.
