“A transcendent story of what it means to be family in today’s frenetic modern world. Marni Battista walks us through the last five days of her father’s life, a deeply personal journey brimming with lessons on how to live in legacy, choosing what to leave behind to create meaning for generations.” – Samantha Dunn, author of Not by Accident and executive editor of Coast Magazine
“Family is a Verb is a love letter to all of the reluctant matriarchs, unofficial documentarians and amateur genealogists, illuminating the effort of preserving legacy and kinship, as well as the great reward.” -Shawna Kenney, author of I Was a Teenage Dominatrix
