Once more we saw stars
Greene, Jayson
Genre:
"Two-year-old Greta Greene was sitting with her grandmother on a park bench on the Upper West Side of Manhattan when a brick crumbled from a windowsill overhead
striking her unconscious. She is immediately rushed to the hospital. Once More We Saw Stars begins with this event
leading the reader into the unimaginable. But although it begins with the anguish Jayson and his wife Stacy confront in the wake of their daughter's trauma and the hours leading up to her death
it quickly becomes a narrative that is as much about hope and healing as it is about grief and loss. Jayson recognizes
even in the very midst of his ordeal
that there will be a life for him beyond it--that if only he can continue moving forward
from one moment to the next
he will survivewhat seems un-survivable. With raw honesty
deep emotion
and exquisite tenderness
he captures both the fragility of life and absoluteness of death
and most important of all
the unconquerable power of love. This is an unforgettable memoir of courage and transformation - and a book that will change the way you look at the world"--
