So beautifully written and tender. A candid gem of a memoir about loss, music, disability, and what grief truly means.

Author Christa Couture has had many losses in life, most of which would bring many people to their knees. As a young girl she had a leg amputated due to bone cancer, her 1st born child that lived only one day, the death of her 2nd child and then a painful divorce. But this is not a sad book, it is instead, a narrative of resilience, love and of growing from our pain.
Recommended for readers of Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking."

This memoir makes me want to write songs and cradle our child and forgive all my exes. It’s beautiful.
