This memoir is the story of one woman's climb out of the abyss after the sudden death and loss of her husband and young son through a fire in their home – a story of survival, coping, and eventual healing of a whole family.
Many have said they don't know how one stays sane in the face of such tragedy. Callaway writes, "That's the reason I wrote the book. I'm here to tell you that one can stay mostly sane most of the time, survive and eventually come out the other side. Although death ends a life, it never ends a relationship."
It is the unending paradox that we learn best from crisis – from loss, pain, and suffering. It is through our grief that we are able to disengage ourselves from the day-to-day status quo and bring ourselves to fully examine our purpose – what is really important in life.
