It is said that we all have a story to tell, a book to write, an interesting life lived. The author was the typical suburban working mom, with two kids, a career, husband, two cars,and a bright future. In one day, her life fell apart. You will reel from the shock. Your life too will seem more fragile and the threads that hold your heart and mind together will be weaker and yet stronger. Her story is one of hope, survival and optimism in the face of further tragedy that abruptly changed this woman's outlook on life. Her story is worth reading. You will remember the rooms and houses of your life. Her aunt's kitchen alone will flood your senses to memories that you long had forgotten. I highly recommend this book. You will cry, you will remember and you will carry on.
