We start each day with certain expectations, but what happens when your entire world is flipped in a single moment? Suddenly, you're trying to muddle through each day alone with the suffocating weight of a broken heart all the while trying to latch on to any type of normalcy that may be left. Those We Love Most is a very realistic look behind the curtain of real life, and loss. Woodruff does a fine job of outlining the importance of forgiveness, of self and others, in the name of love in order to heal. Don't you hate it when you start to read a book and realize you have already read it?? this book is the selection for our book club and apparently I didn't add it to Goodreads after I finished.. so I don't even remember when I read it...needless to say I skimmed through it this afternoon... it is a book of family misfortunes and how they are dealt with... a young child hit by a car . a husband on the verge of retirement has a stroke.. with some infidelity thrown in too.. I'm sure the discussion will center on tragedy and how families deal with it.. but I give this book just an OK..
much different than I originally expected but still riveting. I have really enjoyed her writing.

Good read, but pretty heavy. Deals with the loss of a child, adultery, alcoholism and resiliency.
