11.29.2022 - A Heart That Works

A Heart That Works by Rob Delaney 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Spiegel & Grau for gifting me a digital ARC of this heartbreaking and glorious memoir by Rob Delaney - 5 stars!

Rob and his wife, pregnant with Henry, their third child, moved from LA to London where he was busy creating and starring in a TV show.  But their world crashed around them when Henry was diagnosed with a brain tumor before his first birthday.  

I couldn't put this book down, even through my tears.  What an amazing family Henry was blessed to have and what wonderful care they gave him, as well as their other two children and their marriage.  This is a raw, unfiltered look at unfathomable grief, but also hope.  It's a thank you love letter to all those special people who care for sick people, especially sick babies and their families.  You will laugh, cheer, and rage along with the author.  He holds nothing back and we the readers are better for it.  I will definitely think twice about what I say to someone dealing with loss, as well as what to do and not to do.  Blessings to this family - a must read!
