My Journey Back, My One Mile: A Sister's Grief (2005. Corr. 2nd)

This book allows the reader to be up close and personal to the emotional roller coaster that was the result of Shandra losing her little sister, Angel. Sadly enough, this would come only fifty-two days after losing her "favorite" aunt. It's blunt, emotion packed, and will have you laughing and crying, as she details the many situations that they'd find themselves in and the bond that had them so in tune to one another that even they would shudder at its power. The flashbacks from their childhood are uniquely ushered in and will allow you to step back in time to experience each moment as she had. Often called "Super Woman" because of the way that she'd come to care for and look after everyone else, yet maintain all that applied, this would become a thing of the past, as it was she who would find herself in need of a "savior." The grief, denial, and depression would become so severe that it'd cause her friend and daughters to experience thoughts and concerns that they never had to worry about before. This just in: "Super Woman is down"...
