This book was recommended to me by a friend when my family decided to go off the grid for four months. We were planning on world schooling our then 6 and 8 year old girls while traveling. I discovered that I simply loved Tsh's writing style and appreciated her encouraging approach to life with kids, travel, balancing priorities, life and work. Her example was to work hard when she had to (finish a book, keep up with her blog, etc.) so that she could enjoy a life style that was important to her. I'd say the style was more of an auto-biography than a "how to book". It was a perfect read for me at the time and I look forward to reading more by this author.

When I started reading this book I did not realize the effect it would have on me. There were times as I was reading, I could see little Thao acting a certain way in the nursery or would watch him while his daddy did praise team practice.  This book is not only about the experience a mother/family experience in losing a child, but rather the transformation one goes through.  This book is not only for people who have lost a child, but it is also for someone who has lost anyone in their life.  It is a book for a family to read together, for a person to read, or even a grandparent!  Tiffany, you have written a master piece!  I look forward to reading more books you may write!

My Sister suggested this book to me and I truly enjoyed it.  So much, in fact, that I purchased a second copy for another family member.  It is an easy read.  I did not want to put the book down until finished.

This book I originally chose for the connection between sisters and in the end found that it is a beautifully written story of family whether they are of blood or chosen. I would suggest this book for anyone but especially for those who have lost a loved one whether it is recently or many years ago. I recently lost someone close to me and reading this book has brought peace and understanding to me. Thank you Deborah Reed for writing this book and writing it in the individual thoughts of each character.

This book was given to our family for my oldest son (then 3yrs)as we had many family members and pets die within a few months.  My son asked who would be next to die?  Grandma, me or even himself.  This book was extremely helpful in explaining the cycle of life for all living things in a way he could understand.  That was almost 30 yrs ago.  Now I have a friend who's daughter is dying of cancer and she has 3 children under 8 yrs of age.  I remembered this book given to our family years ago and knew it would be a big help for my friend and her family during this traumatic time in their lives.  I highly recomend this book to anyone dealing with trauma, death, and grief.

I was raised close to the author's family. Much appreciation for her honesty about herself to help other people. My siblings and I went through much of what she did. Seeing it in print makes it more real. Thanks, for the help you have been to me.

This book was recommended to me by my Aunt. She raised two wonderful kids, my cousins, who are about 10 years younger than I am and I am truly amazed at their personalities and self-confidence! Reading this book has changed my view on how I want to raise my kids. I have already gifted 2 copies to two of my friends.

A good friend, and a person I have a lot of respect for, gave me this book.  I have to admit to being surprised because I initially thought this to be a typical "get rich" book.  Based on his recomendations I read the book.  I spent a few hours and read through the book in one sitting, it's an easy read.  It really has influenced my thinking about many things in my life.  There is more being said in this book about methodology than practical advice, and that's a good thing.  I have made some serious changes in the way I run my business and personal life.  This is a book everyone should read through and see for themselves if they can apply any of the wisdom contained.

I would recommend this book to friends with relaxed personalities who have been on a searching journey, exploring themselves. I would also recommend this book to young mothers because the author's role as a new mom shows up a lot in this book. I enjoyed this book because of the author's take on family; she shares many experiences which remind the reader not to take any time with a loved one-any trip, any holiday-for granted.
I would not recommend this wonderful little book to the people I know who always give the Sunday School answer. Quite frankly, I think that they would be offended by a few of the author's comments.

This book was very helpful to me. I had a childhood that was in some ways very similar to the author's. It proved to be serendipitous that I read it at the point in time that I did. It helped me to make a painful choice that I had been contemplating for quite a long time. It was well written. The author should be very proud of herself for being so open and in turn helping so many other people. I always felt like I was quite alone and unique in the type of suffering that I endured as a child and still as an adult with my mother. After having been told again by my mother, you go your way and I will go mine, I am finally going to do that.

This was recommended to me by a family member who had read this book when it first came out. After reading this I see this happening more and more today and it is being called "New Age" which it really is "Old Age." This was really good. If anyone has a family member dabbling anything close to the occult, this is really helpful. I enjoyed this and highly recommend this.
