BUZZ A Year of Paying Attention by Katherine Ellison A MEMOIR Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

I began to read BUZZ the moment it came in the mail. Well, after I had taken it out of mailman's hand. I had no idea whether the book would make me want to read, read, read or whether the book would make me want to sleep, sleep, sleep. Thankfully, BUZZ BY Katherine Ellison is well written. Although, the subject Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder  shortened to ADD is a complicated illness. The book is just the opposite. There are moments throughout the memoir when I laughed, cried, questioned and became angry.

There are many books written about ADD.  I believe it is rare to find one with the mother and son suffering with the same condition. This is the case in Buzz. This is my personal reason to celebrate the book. Katherine Ellison should truly win the best Mother's Day gift in the world. I do believe because of her insight she was able to give the correct love to Buzz. She gave him the love that he needed when the rest of the world stood outside of his world and looked in giving none of themselves or too much of the wrong part of themselves.
