I got my book shortly before Christmas and just finished reading it. Even though I have only lost one parent- I can really relate to many of these stories. This is a great book and recommend it to anyone who has lost one or both parents.

You betcha,
give Cate or Lisa a call at 773-281-LUNG so that they can hold one out for you and then just mail in your check and it will be sent to you!

I kid you not when I say this is a great book...kind of like an LCSC (real people, real experiences, and real advice) for those who lost parents.
