Title: Powerfully true to life
Review: Although many readers did not like the main character, Beth, I felt as though the author had incredible insight as to what a mother might go through in which is what a mother's worst nightmare.When I first realized what the book was about, I put it down for several days and decided not to read it. Who wants to read a book about the very thing you fear the most? But, since I had nothing good around the house to read I picked it up and spent the next several hours crying and reading, reading and crying.A friend of mine lost a child under very similar circumstances. She was what most people would consider an ideal mother, however, her reaction was so similar to Beth's. She also abandoned her remaining children for a period of time, withdrew from friends and wanted to stop living. I now understand her so much better from reading about Beth.
