Speak, Son

Speak, Son: A Mother's Memoir is Chagit Deitz's years-long search for a more complete picture of the struggles her son experienced during his tragically brief life.

When Ben Deitz unexpectedly died in 2015, he left behind detailed journals, essays, lyrics, art, music, and many unanswered questions. In a moving narrative that interlaces Ben's writing with her own, Chagit Deitz attempts to come to terms with her insatiable longing for answers, and for her son.
