A woman who always dreamed of a big family, loses two sons within 9 months and then continues to suffer devastating loss again and again. Not the most happiest of books for the summer season, but bearing witness to someone's story made the emotional journey more than worth it.
There were way too many moments where I couldn't believe that I was reading non-fiction, my heart ached for this woman, not only for the loss but for the lack of family support. Although I am not a mom, I could still understand her sense of loss, but what I came out with more than anything was how much family support can help you get through anything. This book made me think about both my immediate family, my in-laws and my extended family and if something tragic where to happen I know that each and every one of them would RUN to come help put me and my husband back on our feet.
