review 1: Absolutely incredible story of her own life. It was heart-wrenchingly honest, which is what made it so compelling. I was a little surprised how much it emotionally affected me. I didn't always like the way she shared (and sometimes overshared) her story--sometimes the writing was awkward, I didn't always agree with conclusions she draws, and hello (not graphic) TMI about her sex life--but overall it was fascinating and inspiring.
review 2: "Radical Survivor", by Dr. Nancy Saltzman, is a captivatingadventure of the human spirit triumphing over unspeakable tragedy. Intelligent and well written, the resilience and courage of the authorconvey hope and unconquerable determination. Many people insimilar circumstances, however, may find it difficult to identify wit
... moreh the author.She is very extroverted, has an enormous support network of friends andfamily, a job in which she finds meaning and fulfillment, is financiallycomfortable, and does not fall into the abyss of clinical depression thatcan often accompany mourning when sudden, accidental death occurs to achild and/or spouse.Although I enjoyed the book and admired its author, I believe herstory does not reflect the average individuals' walk through grief andmay have limited value because she is more exceptional than typical andher success in reshaping her life may seem unreachable to the majority ofpeople dealing with loss. less
