This book is incredible. Dr. Gorrell is an excellent storyteller, and she tells about her heartwrenching losses and journey to healing in a way that is both relatable and inspiring. In addition, her research and understanding of grief, trauma, and their relationship to the twin epidemics of suicide and addiction in America make this book much more than a memoir. I would have thought it impossible to write about joy in the face of loss without sounding trite or Pollyanna-ish, but she's done a great job. When I read a book I really love, I never hold on to it long because I want to share it. I know I'll end up purchasing this one many times over because I want to give it to so many people.
