The Unwinding of the Miracle: A Memoir of Life, Death, and Everything That Comes After by Julie Yip-Williams

4.0

This is a book that will definitely stay on my mind for a while. It is, of course, very sad. The author's older daughter is about my daughter's age and I can not imagine going through what this family has gone through. One of the criticisms of this book was that it was a bit disjointed and not always linear, and I agree with that and thought those thoughts as I read it. However it was based on blog entries and personal journals so it makes sense that it reads that way. That aspect of it didn't bother me. For me the message is more important than the structure of the book (and honestly I thought the writing was good). The author handled her life and the end of it with grace, and I think her faith is an afterlife/reincarnation definitely helped with that.
