This slim volume packs more emotional punch than any ten books, art films, love songs, etc., that you will come across this year. Exploring the hope that waits behind loss, and the heartbreak that waits behind hope, this book will, quite simply, floor you once you read it. All three participants are people of immense courage -- photographer Simeon Hutner, for being able to stand behind the camera and capture the struggle of his family, his sister Elizabeth, whose poems eloquently describe not only the big-picture emotions of those faced with the unfairness of tragedy, but also the little details that make it that much more tragic, and finally her son, Sam, whose trusting, accepting, haunting gaze penetrates past the pages directly into our souls. It's an astonishing work of art, which moved me like few works have before. I highly recommend it to any and all... but you really have to be prepared for an emotional jolt when you pick this book up.
