"The most inspiring story you'll read again and again."
Kirsten tells it like it is: You aren't crazy.
Grief is really, really hard. Most other people don't get that. Through the beautifully written story of a strong female lead and her own grief and coming of age growth, you'll discover even in your darkest moments: You are not alone. From the struggle to finding a table in the high school cafeteria to a single mom making a (surprise!) decision to go to medical school, against all odds a group of 5 women learn you can survive the greatest challenges in life (and even THRIVE) by simply listening to what's inside yourself.
When you feel like the ground is shaking, when you feel like you're walking on broken glass, when you feel like you don't know where home is anymore, read this book.
If you're over pleasantries, if you're over the way people look at you now, if you're over the guilt and constant questioning why it happened, if you feel angry (psst! It's ok to be angry...you should be angry!), if you feel sad (hint: you should be sad when you lose someone you love!), if what you're going through feels like a big deal and no one else seems to get it, if you want to feel better but still feel stuck, if things just aren't right and you don't know why, if you feel like people are just plain being mean to you, if life has already been hard enough, if you're looking for forgiveness, if you want to help but don't know how, if you need something inspirational, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
For a real conversation about what you're going through, read this book.
To find peace, to feel better, to find home again, read this book.
