From a bereaved mother in
Canada:
Thanks for writing your book. It really stands out as the one book that made
total sense to me.From the president
of Word Works:
In an email announcement, "Recommendation for an outstanding book on grief," to
the Word Works writers group: As a person immersed in literary work, I would like to
recommend a book I know well on the subject of grief that is unlike any other on the
market today: William & Wendell: A Family Remembered by Donnali Fifield....
Every word is carefully chosen, the style is fluid and poetic.
From a reader at MightyWords.com:
This is a captivating book that grabs you on page one. The book is told through the
experiences of life and death that Donnali and her family have endured over the years. It
begins with the traumatic and unexpected deaths of her half brother and his family in a
most heart-stopping, wrenching way. This was the first of many losses that Ms. Fifield
walks you through, the most vivid being the loss of her own twin boys. Ms. Fifield doesn't
attempt to glorify the experiences of grief in her life and in fact is often brutally
honest. This book is a beautiful mix of both sadness and joy. Ms. Fifield has a passion
about her love for her family and the endearing memories she holds close to her heart come
through in every word. She shares her experiences with her parents and her own twin
brother that will make you laugh and understand the closeness that this family of twins
feels. Donnali presents her material with an understanding that grieving can take many
different paths for everyone. She chose to deal with hers in a more contemporary way. Her
story tells us how to get through life wearing our armor of grief proudly and fight the
battle of depression and loss with knowledge and determination. This book was a great read
and written with such detail that once you began a page you were right there with her and
her family. It is an account of strength and perseverance beyond belief and I highly
recommend it. |
