: :
: In the tradition of The Memory Keeper's Daughter, a gripping, generous, and:
: provocative novel chronicling the grief that follows the death of a :
: newborn-and that leads to a family's emotional reawakening. :
: :
: It begins with loss. John and Ricky Ryrie are stricken by the death of :
: their third child, only fifty-seven hours after his birth. Struggling to :
: regain a semblance of normalcy, they find themselves pretending not only :
: that little has changed, but that nothing was wrong before this baby came :
: so briefly into their lives. Yet in the aftermath of his death, :
: long-suppressed uncertainties about their relationship come roiling to the :
: surface. A dreadful secret emerges concerning what Ricky knew about her :
: pregnancy and concealed from everyone, even John. :
: And the couple's two older children, grappling with the tensions around :
: them, begin to act out in exquisitely, perhaps courageously, idiosyncratic :
: ways. Ultimately, though, the grief that was initially so isolating brings :
: the four family members to connect powerfully with the sadness and burdens :
: of others- to the grief that is part of every human life and that carries :
: within it the ability to draw us together. And in the end, Ricky and John's:
: marriage is stronger for the transformation their grief has allowed. :
: :
: Moving, psychologically acute, and gorgeously written, The Grief of Others :
: is Leah Hager Cohen at the height of her talent in what is sure to be her :
: breakout book, one that forces readers to ask themselves: What would I have:
: done? The Grief of Others exposes the paradox that facing tragedy together :
: can in fact awaken us to our better selves and take us from fear to a place:
: of hope and optimism. :
