Media Reviews
'... a thoughtful, beautiful account of how grief can tear people apart and put them back together again.' -- Hackwriters.com 'A gripping read' -- The Sunday Times 'A cautionary story, poignant yet unsentimental, that articulates the grief, guilt and trauma experienced by victims of a tragic accident...Mayfield creates a non-judgemental yet emotive caveat.' -- Deborah Buley
