'Libby Muller turned forty the same year as her young son, Joe, died suddenly at home in what was described as a freak accident.
'Libby relives, with a compelling, raw honesty, the heartbreak of what is one of the greatest sufferings imaginable - a mother's loss of her only child.
'She explores grief in the first year after her son's death. This journey starts as she navigates those first dark days of overwhelming sadness. But gradually the resilience of the human spirit shines. She finds solace in surfing, experiences the healing energy of the Torres Strait Islands and follows a deeply spiritual path in the search to find inner peace. What results is a deeper understanding of life and death.
'In sharing her story, Libby hopes to offer some comfort to others who may have also suffered the grief of losing a child.' (Publication summary)
