Life seemed to be going great for the Storch family. It was just another vacation that was supposed to be full of wonderful memories. Instead, their life was turned upside down in an instant. Those wonderful memories are still there, but it's also hidden by the nightmare that they lived through on that day in March of 2010. At only 13 years old, Taylor had so much life yet to live. However, a horrible ski accident left her family having to make choices that no parent wants to make for their child. Taylor still lives on, though, because of the choices that her family made.
I cried while reading this book and was amazed with how they deal with the day-to-day. As a mom, losing a child is truly something I fear. I appreciated their honesty and how they aren't afraid to discuss the events of that day, even though I'm sure the thoughts still hold much sadness and their grief is still very much real.
I liked the aspect of this book. It raises awareness about organ donation, something we often don't think about until our families are left to make the decision for us. Taylor's life saved 5 other people's lives. You can't help but feel the thankfulness and the joy of the recipients of her organs, all the while still grieving over the life of this young girl. As much as this story is about death, it's also so much about hope and life and giving.
