After Annie by
Anna Quindlen
Annie was a wife, mother, best friend and nursing assistant
at a retirement home. She was dearly
loved by all her family and friends and they are lost without her. This story details their loss and their
healing.
I believe that this book would be very cathartic for someone
who had lost a mother, wife or best friend.
The struggle Annie’s children, husband and best friend faced was very
real. The emotions they felt were so well
captured by the author. It made me think
that the author had lost a person dear to her.
Despite the debilitating grief the characters experienced,
there was definitely hope for healing. None
of them forgot Annie, but continued to treasure her even though life carried
them on.
I enjoyed this book
and am grateful to the publisher for this copy in exchange for this, my honest
review.
