I received this book in the mail yesterday afternoon. I finished it last night. It is a fast read but don't let that fool you, it is a powerful book.
This is a story of life after a tragedy and the author really makes you feel it. I highly recommend this book!
You will want to run in and hug your husband as never before.
This is the very honest memoir of a woman whose husband suffered brain damage in an accident--about how their marriage endured but changed, how she coped, and, incidentally, how her dogs helped.
