This book takes you on an organic journey. It provides emotional comfort as well as practical assistance for all those facing hardship. The author, Lea Gambina Pecora, gracefully chronicles her childhood living in a disability-centered household after her dad broke his spinal chord when she was 1 year old. Her parents' love, commitment, and triumphs in the face of extreme adversity come across in these pages. Being fully engaged with her parents during unexpected events in their last years of life, Lea provides a glimpse into another world - a world immersed with a richness that no circumstance in life, including death, can ever extinguish. This book is an uplifting, bittersweet, engaging story of real, raw, life. It is not a sad story - it's a real story - with humor, love, big messes, little messes, and everything in between. The chaos and paradoxical perfection of this experience unfolds beautifully on these pages exactly as it was, offering valuable insight to aid those in their own journey of love and loss.
