"Banana Bread" by Edith Gettes

Edith Gettes has worked as a professional violinist, teacher, and psychiatrist. Her most important and inspiring employment, however, has been raising four daughters. She has lectured about learning, trauma and motherhood at several international conferences, and her writing has appeared in both musical and medical journals. Edith currently lives, works, plays, and writes in Asheville, North Carolina, where she remains fascinated by our capacity for love and beauty in the face of profound challenges.
