Rachel Eliza Griffith's powerful memoir stunned me. With a poet's precision, she renders two interwoven tragedies few others could've lived through, much less written about with such clear-eyed candor. Love powers both tales, and that's the source of the book's deep grace. She blesses us all with a survivor's singular memoir destined to be celebrated for aeons * Mary Karr * A beautiful and immensely powerful book about love, grief and finding a way to be in a forever altered world -- Julia Samuel This profoundly felt account moves between the raw, the lyrical, and the elegiac as it seeks the light of healing * Kirkus, starred review *
