"When Will it Stop Hurting?"

Glenn Cameron Β· 2019
68/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

Cameron's raw, unfiltered account of spousal bereavement has genuine emotional authenticity and a redemptive arc through hospice volunteering that gives it more than most grief memoirs. The IndieReader approval and reader praise for its emotional range are meaningful signals for a self-published title. But the limited editorial polish and narrow critical footprint keep it from clearing the bar over the many stronger grief books in this category.
