Book excerpt: When COVID-19 drove Americans into isolation in 2020, long-time educator Mary Sheehy Moe turned to the "3 R's" she knew best: reading, reflecting, and writing. Love in the Midst of COVID, originating as a series of Facebook posts, is the result."I'm afraid. You are too, right?" she wrote in March. "I'm afraid the test I've always wondered about, the test for my generation like the ones my parents' generation faced, and their parents' before them, has come at last. Our Depression. Our World War II. Our polio." Love in the Midst of COVID is at once a portrait of a fearful, politically turbulent time and a montage of the reflections of a grandchild of Irish immigrants, a child of the '60s, and a fiercely doting grandmother. In between the lines is a crib sheet for the tests of any turbulent time.
