SEAN touched me in many ways. First, it was scary to pick up the book and begin reading. I'm the mother of an only child who just suffered through a car accident, and I wasn't sure I could read about a child who dies. But instead, once I started this very personal journal and journey through Sean's life and then death, I found out that strength and courage are the attributes of the very special few. And Sean as well as his mother and author, Julie, are two of those rare individuals. Julie's honesty as she faced one of life's most demanding tests is brutal especially when writing about herself and her feelings. This is an important book for anyone who has suffered a loss and hasn't quite figured out how to get through it. Julie, in her directness, shows us that we are only human when we feel ourselves still mourning when everyone else has determined it is time to get over it. This book deals with the agony but also the joys of having loved and having learned to have faith in those things we cannot see or touch.

I recomend this book to anyone that has lost a loved one,it touch my heart and i will never forget Sean,and I hope anyone thinking of buying just do it and read from any page because every page shas something to offer by itself.

I read Julie Maude Miller's essay "Angel Son" in House Beautiful magazine in December 1996, and was so inspired by her story and beautiful writing I've kept my my eye out for more writing from this author. I was delighted when I recently discovered this book. It is the story of a remarkable family, with a mother chronicling her son's journey though cancer, and the wisdom she and her son gained in the process. Maude-Miller is concise, attentive and piercingly honest.This is a brave, beautiful and deeply necessary book.
