All around glad I read the book. It brought tears to my eyes when she finally found her own happiness and world where she could live with her hardships. Nice to read about someone's successful journey through trying times. The most fulfilling part of the book are the last couple chapters.
My complaints would be that I wished she would have spent a little more time in the beginning of the book to introduce characters to us. I felt overloaded within the first chapter trying to figure out who people were.
Also, there is a point while reading were I felt like I kept reading about the grief she was living with but said in different words but saying the same thing for many chapters. So I would say this book almost reads more like a journal because of this.

I really enjoyed this book. Natalie had hardships, but she also had a large supportive group of family and friends to help her through the difficult days.
Reading this book was kind of like reading someone's journal. It was a close-up view of what it would be like to deal with the loss of a husband and the birth of a baby without his daddy being there. She almost made it seem too easy to endure. But she apparently is tough and was not willing to let this destroy her or her son. The book is a great read and a great inspiration.

Wonderful and courageous
