Critics Review

Jess paints the picture of grief and motherhood in such a profound way: Evocative, Tender, Exquisite. * Jessie Ware *A dazzling debut. Jess’ words sing from the page. A book about grief that ultimately celebrates the joy and the hope of life at its core. A raw and fearless exploration of life, loss and mostly love - it is totally unforgettable. * Lena de Casparis, Elle *Stunning, lyrical and deeply felt. About death yes, but ultimately about the greater powers of love to redeem and heal. * Clover Stroud *
