HAMMER, SIGNE - By Her Own Hand: Memoirs of a Suicide's Daughter
New York, New York, U.S.A. Vintage Books. 1992. 0679739017 Trade Paperback. 7.75x5 inches. 200 pages. Color photo illustrated cover, with blue and red lettering. White spine with blue and black lettering. Slight spine wear. Inscribed to Joan and signed by Hammer on the first page. Some cover soil/stains. A powerful and sometimes harrowing book is an inquiry into the mystery of Agnes Hammer's death. It is also an account of suicide's effect on its survivors, and especially on Signe, who as a child was tormented by the question "How did I fail her?" and as a young woman came to resemble her mother more and more-down to the same impulses toward self-extinction. Very Good.
