The premise is a good one but I was reminded while reading this of why I didn't finish her first book, Hands Free Mama. Stafford tells us what to do instead of how to do it. The writing is often too poetic to really get deep and I feel that I'm reading one of those memes where someone is trying to tell a depressed person to "cheer up!" and they are like "Why didn't I just think of that?! All better now!"
Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of good in this book but I didn't feel those earth shattering insights that I get from other books. I stopped half way as I was already starting to feel like the book became repetitive.
This book was given to me by BookLook Bloggers in exchange for my honest review.
I found your blog yesterday while looking up what happened to the people of Frontier House. I noticed you bio and wanted to say well done at writing to encourage others and deal with your grief. I too had a child die albeit he was premature and lived only 3 full days. Nothing compared to your suffering but I wrote about it briefly at justenjoythejourneyladies@blogspot.com May God bless your day and your family. Kersten
