Description

In this moving and compelling memoir, the story of 22-year-old Rebecca Arnold is told. She was diagnosed with a rare and vicious cancer and, 13 months later, this vibrant, talented young woman was dead as her family was left to cope with a tidal wave of grief and loss. Neither sentimental nor voyeuristic, this personal journey is instead a restrained telling--by Rebecca's mother, Sandra--that is ultimately powerfully redemptive. This novel-like narrative will help the nonbereaved better understand the anguish of losing a child.
