In her memoir, published posthumously, Tallu Schuyler Quinn describes what she and her husband experienced over a decade of marriage as “brokenhearted sorrow and wordless joy.” Fortunately for us, Quinn — the founder of The Nashville Food Project who died in early 2022 due to glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer — found words to express the wordless. This compilation of essays tells her story — of fighting for food justice, of raising a family, of exploring spirituality — in a way that can be a handbook for us all. None of us are promised tomorrow, so Quinn shows us how to make the most of today.
