Summary: "Swimming" is a spectacular achievement
Comment: One might think a memoir about the death of a daughter, and the donation of her organs, would be depressing. Vincent's vivid prose and difficult psychological insights transcends her intense grief as she brings us deep into her world. Her journey tracks backward and forward in time as she slowly understands more fully her relationships with her two daughters, various boyfriends, her own parents, and finally herself. This is a remarkably moving testament to the power of loss, love, and living.
Full disclosure: I met Eleanor a few years ago in a writing workshop.

Summary: Dads make a difference!
Comment: I am Maya's second cousin, her Dad "Jeff" was my first cousin. I have many memories of "Jeff" and his family. I, like Ellie, also raised a daughter alone. Although our stories differ, there are a few common threads, like: kids need their Dads! I would hope that a few men would read this and see what an absolute "must" it is for them to be in the lives of their kids, as good as we "Moms" are, God did not intend for us to do this job alone.
I have the cutiest pictures of Maya and my daughter Melanie at Easter time many years ago, Maya, like Melanie, got a ton of giftness from her Dad - even tho absent in her daily life.
Maya was a "spark" just like her Dad was. Why life takes such strange and curious turns is not always clear to us. But, know that as a believer in Jesus' saving grace, we can trust our heavenly Father to know the map way out there that we can't see. I know it isn't easy - that's why it's called faith.
God bless you Ellie for being able to relive this account over and over! God after all, is love! And, as sad as it is, it happened to you, a writer!

Summary: Proving the Human Spirit
Comment: This book is about our human strength to find meaning in a life struck by a great blow. It offers each of us hope in the resilience of the human spirit. Vincent deftly creates the details that illuminated the characters and scenes in this book. I know readers will be touched and given strength.
