Why read it?
1 author picked Not of Reason as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book connected with me on many levels as she struggles to understand the meaning of why younger people sometimes have to die before their parents.

The strongest message I personally took away from this book was the power of love within a family who, despite living far from one another, came together to help each other through pain. This is a very powerful read with a strong message of hope.
