So how can you say you like a book like this, when it's about a tragedy for a 6 year old boy and his family. But I liked getting to know the author and learning more about her sons. I was also interested by her non profit that she created and the message she wants people to hear.

This book just takes a few hours to read and tells such an inspiring story about love and healing.

A mother, whose son died in the Sandy Hook tragedy, tells her story of grief and healing after such a tragic loss, while also telling a story of hope and sharing her son's message to others.

During the months following the tragedy a year from last December, the mother tries many healing mechanisms, from therapy to spiritual practices, and finds the ones that help her most.

While the story may sound sad, this book is not one of sadness, but of hope and healing.

The mom and the son that remains move toward hope through helping others and spreading the message of love around the world.

I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I read this book today, on the 1-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy, in just a few hours. Being a mom of two boys, I think of these families often, and wonder how these parents even began to cope with what happened to their children. I decided to separate the mom and the reader in me, and just plow through. I admire what Scarlett is doing with her foundation; not allowing her son to have died in vain. The early part is difficult to read, but is not filled with all the gory details. Not everyone can read this, and I respect that. But if you think you can, I recommend it.
