A difficult but deep look into the grief of a very young woman whose first two children were diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa and died very young. She holds nothing back and the language can be raw. I often wondered how my great, great-aunt kept her sanity burying her first seven children in the 1800s, before there was therapies, medications, and other ways to cope and that's why I starting reading this book. The incessant "everyone is stupid" caused me to want to quit reading often but I'm glad I kept reading to the end.  I'd recommend this to those who support the caregivers for children with catastrophic illnesses as well as any parents who derive comfort from others going through similar difficult times.Probably not a good book for language-sensitive readers or those that can't tolerate hard-headed, foul-mouthed young people.  Definitely a book for adults.
