Lee Woodruff

A moving documentation of how Bob Woodruff?s brain injury from an IED in Iraq affected their lives and the lives of their children, family and friends.

I stumbled across this in the new books section of the library yesterday. I was thinking it was about Bob Woodruff's accident in Iraq and subsequent recovery. I was half way through the book, still wondering when she was going to write about getting the phone call, when it dawned on me that this was a different book. DOH!!! This book consisted of assorted stories about her and her family. It wasn't bad; just not what I was expecting.

That one moment you let your guard down, tragedy strikes in the most horrific way possible. It's hard to recover from something like that. That's what we get to experience in the pages of this book. It was a tragic circumstance that a family was left behind to grieve through. In it's own way, you experience how each relation dealt with their stage of grief. It's worth reading.

I really wanted to like this book but the characters didn't really interest me and everything was predictable. About halfway through I started wishing it would just end and then I skimmed through it until it did.
