Ok this book is Phenomenal.
Let me preface by saying that there are grammatical errors, the book isn’t written like a story, and this that and the whole 9 yards. But that is most definitely not why I loved it. I loved it because Chad was real. The story that was told was not a dramatization (like he explains at the end of the book-which is something I thoroughly appreciate), but a complete recollection of what he personally experienced. It may not have been reality, but it was HIS reality. This book puts you in the perspective of what his life was like; what anyone’s life could be like post-tragedy, even if what they experienced wasn’t the actual situation. Facts in this book are not important, it’s the feelings this book gives, and that’s what makes it so important.

Insightful book about a tragic Saskatchewan loss. Very raw with emotion of grief and overcoming but never forgetting.
