I was so touched by the story of "Every Last One" . As a mother three myself, I found myself completely wrapped up in Mary Beth and her life. It was completely relatable and real. Anna Quindlen's writing is second to none for me and I was so moved by the heartwrenching tale that I cried even after I'd put it down. A perfect example of beauty from ashes - a desperate effort to pick up the pieces of ones life and find something worth breathing for again. Beautifully written.
