Review Quotes
"Practical in both adaptability suggestions and insight into the varying forms of grief, ["Healin"g] will increase comfort and even more importantly, greatly reduce missteps, faux pas, and the awkward feeling of not knowing what to do." --Holly Gleason, The Yummy List
"Alicia King has written a profoundly insightful and much-needed book for our society." --Lynn Foster, Steering Committee Member, The Compassionate Friends
About the Author
Alicia King writes from the unique perspective of one who has lost many of those close to her. Her mother's death was suspicious enough to launch a homicide investigation and lengthy legal roller coaster. This ultimately led to a sentence of more than 15 years for her mother's boyfriend. During the next eight years she would lose her grandmother, stepfather, stepmother, and father, as well as miscarrying while awaiting her mother's boyfriend's trial. Ms. King currently lives in Franklin, Tennessee, with her husband, Dan, and their two children. She is an award-winning songwriter, writing mostly for film and TV.Dimensions (Overall): 7.9 Inches (H) x 5.2 Inches (W) x .8 Inches (D)
