“Norma gives powerful voice to the difficult journey traveled by parents
who lose a young child. Her gentle, passionate, honest exposition is just
what someone who is enduring such indescribable grief needs to hear—
not a sugar-coated pep talk so often offered to those who are grieving, but an honest and loving description of the difficult journey she has traveled. It is a wonderful book that I strongly recommend to anyone.”
~ Walter Graham, Exec. Director of UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) in Richmond, VA

“No one who reads your heartbreaking story can remain unmoved by your love both for your daughter and humanity. Your response to a crushing tragedy is an inspiration. Let me hope that knowing you have saved other families from devastation will give you some consolation as you live day by day with your memories.”
~ Reg Green, Author of The Nicholas Effect
