Most of us can't imagine losing our child once. Julie lost her daughter twice. The first time Samantha died, she was brought back too late and lived in a vegetative state for nearly two decades. This is Julie's account of events that would have sent many of us to the brink of madness. She tells her story with unflinching honesty and a complete absence of self-pity. I found this incredibly moving, horrifying, sad, but also inspirational.** This is the counterpart to Gone, Julie's fictional and wonderfully magical tale of Avalon, the place where people go when they're not quite dead, but also not quite alive. I highly recommend both. **
