wornpagesandendlesscoffey's review against another edition

While I am absolutely certain that this book is phenomenal, it is not one that I was able to get through unfortunately. I was aware going in that child loss was a theme, but I was wholly unprepared for the way that that seem would play out within pages of this book. I will absolutely try another of this authors books at a later date.
