Summary

"Using her trademark mix of words and pictures ... Marissa Moss presents the story of how she, her husband, and her three young sons struggled to maintain their sense of selves and wholeness as a family and how they continued on with everyday life when the earth shifted beneath their feet. After returning home from a year abroad, Marissa's husband, Harvey, was diagnosed with ALS. The disease progressed quickly, and Marissa was soon consumed with caring for Harvey while trying to keep life as normal as possible for their children. This is not a story about the redemptive power of terminal illness. It is a story of resilience--of how a family managed to survive a terrible loss and grow in spite of it."--Cover flap
