"This book touched me in a way I didn’t expect. It pulled at my heartstrings, but it never felt heavy or overwhelming. The writing flows beautifully, and I found myself not wanting to put it down.
What I appreciated most was how accessible and human it felt. Grief is something we all experience differently, and this book honors that without trying to fix or explain it away. It made me reflect on my own losses and reminded me how important it is to actually deal with our grief, not avoid it.
A deeply relatable, compassionate read."

"In this memoir, Shannon bravely invites you to walk alongside her thru some of the most difficult and heartbreaking experiences in her life. The vulnerability and honesty in her writing is moving and heartbreaking at times. Her stories are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and what we can overcome and survive. Shannon’s ability to transform the loss and difficulties in her life into a positive outlook and a full, vibrant life is incredible. I am in awe of her strength and her ability to connect with others and help them navigate their own losses and life struggles."
