Industry Reviews "In lovely, unfettered prose, Edwards talks--movingly, haltingly--about her son Wade's death at 16, her cancer diagnosis and rediagnosis..., and her husband's infidelity." (05/22/2009)
"One finishes the book struck by the author's candor and generosity. Writing it likely was therapeutic for her. There is no self-pity here, but more a sense of bewilderment at her husband's betrayal. Those who have been wounded by loss, especially of a child, or infidelity may find comfort in the author's strength, growth, and determination to move on with her life." (07/18/2009)
