I bought this book after the tragic unexpected death of my 41 year old daughter. I have been overwhelmed with the loss and finding her lifeless here on the side pathway was painful and there was no explanation why her heart stopped beating. This book written by acclaimed ABC journalist Leigh Sales has made feel I am not alone.

Insightful look into how people cope following a negative life changing event. Each person may have different coping strategies, but there is also similarities. While the subject matter is tragic, it is also an uplifting book about the best parts of human nature. It also explores some common myths we may tell ourselves when a disaster happens, about fairness etc. A compelling read, well worth your time

Just because people are in the limelight does not mean they are excempt from trauma. Some people like to emulate the people they view on the big screen or television, they are extrordinary people, sometimes with extrodinary problems.

Not my kind of book so I only read a few pages. I'm not interested in reading about other peoples trauma and disaster stories, prefer something more fun and original
