Critics Review

Wonderfully moving, relevant and important– Kate Timperley , Maggie’s

It is wonderful. Pitch perfect in tone and a very important book. It will help many people.

We can only support and agree with Annie’s brave attempt to put death talk on the map. These are very difficult conversations to have and this book will be a helpful tool to encourage those who want to help those suffering with grief to share some of their burden, especially in our “quick fix, easy answer” society.

Wonderfully moving, relevant and important
