What people are saying...
"A glorious depiction of what it means to be human in this world. Meghan Riordan Jarvis expertly expands the conversation about trauma, both for the patient and the clinician. This smart, warm, and relatable book challenged my assumptions about what it means to care for ourselves and others. I know it will do the same for everyone who reads these pages."
Claire Bidwell Smith
author of The Rules of Inheritance
“Her life shattered by the sudden loss of her beloved mother, Meghan Riordan Jarvis walks us barefoot through her grief, across sacred shards of loss, guilt, and hopelessness. From End of the Hour we emerge with the fierce tenderness that love and loss require of us. What a gift.”
Glennon Doyle
author of Untamed, founder of Together Rising
"Jarvis’s End of the Hour is the rare feat of a book that is at once wise and humble, hilarious and heartbreaking, entertaining and educational. Jarvis’s story, a behind-the scenes look at what happens when a therapist’s personal losses bring her to her knees, demystifies trauma and offers readers a radiant dash of hope. . . A page turner that will help readers find the shore of their own lives and the will to paddle forward."
Christie Tate
