This is a remarkable read! This beautiful memoir delves deeply into every emotion known to the soul...from tremendous love of husband and family, laugh out loud domestic adventures, to the gut-wrenching agony of every parent's nightmare...the senseless loss of a child. Through it all, Ms. Peluso captures and captivates her audience with eloquent and powerful prose, beginning with her bedside vigil in a hospital ICU after a horrific accident involving her daughter and a drunk driver, then taking us back in time to the beginning...her beginning.I am amazed at the strength and character of this author. To endure such a tragedy as the loss of a child, and be able to pen the experience so eloquently with candor and humor, speaks volumes about the power and spirit of a mother's undying love. When I read a book, I want to feel I'm a part of the story, as though I am there experiencing whatever is about to unfold. This author did not leave me wanting...She made me feel.I highly recommend this book to anyone. It is a powerfully written story of the sorrows and triumphs of real life. Not a sob story or feel-sorry-for-me essay, but a true memorial of a life taken all too soon.Ms. Peluso...You have done great honor to your daughter. You are the quintessential definition of Mother. I'm positive Noelle is smiling from above.Bravo!
