In poems and compositions including \"The Good Patient: A Play,\" \"A Note on Common Sense,\" \"Hot-Girl Summer,\" and \"1000 Kinds of Clouds,\" Grant deftly explores every emotion, from the gripping panic of diagnosis to the bittersweet relief of recovery, and the heartbeats in between. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnpretentious, gut-wrenchingly honest, and at times devastatingly funny, \u003ci\u003eLump\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the fear, hope, everyday indignities of illness, and unexpected joys of healing with sobering clarity and wisdom. Whether you're on a similar course, supporting a loved one through theirs, or simply appreciate lyrical musings and poignant prose, this evocative collection is one you will savor and share.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allison Sweet Grant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316608367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllison Sweet Grant\u003c\/b\u003e is a psychiatric nurse practitioner, turned author.
