I normally can't stop listening to this author's books. They usually keep me on the edge of my seat.
I've tried several times to get into this one. I'm afraid it can't be done...

This book opened up an emotional door for me-that I didn't know had been locked up tight. The author, in his younger years, describes his joys and his fears and everything in between so poetically. I felt like it was a story describing my own feelings at that age. And I never knew those feelings needed words. Now I realize I needed affirmation that I felt that way. I feel like a different person in the best way. Back in my day, it was said that "that's the way it was." True. It was. I do get to have feelings about it. ~Big sigh of relief.

I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting. The story was really interesting, but didn't hold my attention like I thought it would. it felt like more information than feeling.

This is a book about real people, who have faced the ends of their lives in sometimes tragic ways. I loved that the pathologist had enough compassion for their dignity, and curiousity-to make time to get to the bottom of every case.

While I wasn't crazy about the narrator, the stories were well worth it.
I especially loved the longevity of the book. From boyhood to adult. I loved hearing about changing times.

While I absolutely loved this story, and I like to think I'm pretty durable when it comes to hardship-I cannot imagine myself having the oomph to keep going on this journey. I'm really amazed at the authors dedication to stick with the plan. Bravo!

I was on the edge of my seat, practically screaming at the author when she handed her card over the second time. (Burn me once...) And I screamed louder when she handed it over for a "hold" in Morocco.
What a tough lesson on being so naive. This book was a reminder to myself to look at my own behaviors. The question about the give and take of friends, and acquaintances.
Great story-telling. I loved it.

While I didn't go the route of substances, this story could very well have been written about my life. The very deep feelings. The silence on hard things. The tough exterior. The lack of self-confidence and esteem...especially in class when the answer is known, but cannot be spoken.
This book, for me, is one giant acknowledgement and the warmest validation to myself. I didn't know I needed it so badly until I heard it out loud.
Highly recommend.

This book is about medical issues and accidents, but with none of the gore. It's more about reaching people on a personal level. It's about love for the job, and a passion to be ones very best-even in the face of chaos.
Highly recommend.

This story is very transparent, but in an educational way. While it was painful to hear, there was nothing too graphic.
Highly recommended for learning about what happens regarding stillbirth. To a Momma's heart. It helps to know these things when sitting with loved ones in their brokenness.
