How she managed to cope with the mother’s ongoing abuse through her son’s illness is beyond belief. I admired Sarah’s love and devotion to her children and her loving heart comes through. I enjoyed reading the book but not so much the diary format although this was a way of telling the story day by day. Her faith though does give her solace and even though it wavered at times in the end does help her through. Sarah has a very hard road which many of us would not survive I am sure. As I read I felt very much that the mother was a psychopathic narcissist at best and the husband was an abusive alcoholic who had no feeling for his family and his only love being the bottle. The first two parts of the book set the scene and show how Sarah’s life has been hard with an abusive mother throughout her childhood and then marrying a husband who is also abusive.
The book is in four parts with the third part being told from her diary recounting the months of Eli’s illness and his passing away. The story is a very moving account of the authors life and most importantly the story tells of her son Eli who becomes sick with cancer and subsequently dies. Kudos to you, Mary! You found the tender words to tell Eli’s story and your own journey.” ~ Jan Hawke, Author “I read this book after the author appeared on the We Love Memoirs group, Spotlight on Sunday.
