SYNOPSIS
Raymond Carver, William Shakespeare, Jill Ker Conway, Judith Guest, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and Albert Camus are among many writers who explore the searing shock, grief, and relentless search to find meaning in the death of one's child.
This unique anthology brings loss and grief into the light and creates an avenue for catharsis and healing. A rich demonstration of how literature serves as the vehicle through which we can explore what we fear -- and grasp universal threads of experience and resolution that bind us together and lead us toward the wisdom that heals.
