I have found a book that I can now give to those who have experienced the loss of a child. I know that at just the time the person is ready, they will come to love this book as it walks them through grief.
I didn't realize that Dr. Nikaidoh had lost a child. I didn't read the summary of the book because I was interested from the cover. That makes this book even better because it's a personal journey, but it also involves many other mothers. It tugged at my heart because it talks of the mothers who have lost their children and how they helped guide Dr. Nikaidoh through grief.
I found myself with tears in my eyes as I read some personal accounts of those who contributed to the book. I know that losing a child is a mother's worst nightmare. As a mom, I can't even fathom my child being taken from me, although I know it can happen at any minute.
It was also neat to get an inside look into the life of a pediatric heart surgeon and all that he does to prepare for a surgery and how it affects him, too.
This book is staying on my bookshelf, but copies of it will definitely be passed out and recommended.

I received this book from Ambassador International in exchange for my honest opinion of this book.
