The story opens with a phone call every mother dreads—news of her son’s traumatic brain injury from a motorcycle accident. Though the doctors tell her the probability that he will survive twenty-four hours is slim, she refuses to give up hope, weaving in her eclectic faith which ranges from Catholicism to New Age practices. It is in this emotional, spiritual journey that we see her unstoppable love, courage, resilience and hope. When tragedy strikes again with another child, she shows her remarkable faith and gives us hope that triumph over unbearable pain is possible. The story is like a love letter to her children and plays out in cinematic detail.
This beautifully–written, heartfelt memoir touched me deeply on a personal level as I related my own feelings about my children. She writes, “I wrote this book in hopes it would bring healing to others, instead I discovered that I was the one who healed." Thank you Pattie for sharing both your pain and your ability to overcome and move on from it so that the rest of us can have hope for the same if the need arises.
I highly recommend this memoir to any mother of teens/young adults as well as to grief support groups, medical professionals or church groups.… (mere)
