“This is a fascinating book of reaching out to a refugee community in Boise, Idaho. The people the author meets and works with are real, and Stephanie Larson brings so much light to their life and struggles.”
As a senior “senior” I have lost many close friends and relatives including my wife and son over the past few years. Most all of us have dealt with the sadness of losing a loved one as well as a pet so we all know grief is a subject that is not easy to deal with. This book makes you feel like you’re not alone in all the feelings that come with it. I liked the way the author told her personal story along with her extensive research on grief.
You may not have had a loss of a loved one but know someone who is struggling with theirs. This will be a wonderful gift to give to them, help them in their recovery and open the door for them to be able to talk about what they’re feeling and going through.
