Overview

After her son's death in a rollover accident, Liz struggles to cope with her grief and guilt. In a desperate effort to find closure, she turns to writing about her relationship with her son, Derrick. Over a number of years, she finds out a lot more about Derrick than she wished to know and closure became even more elusive. Coping with these revelations was sometimes almost as difficult as dealing with his sudden death. Naively she thought she had finished the story only to find that there was more to endure and even more to write. Through the twists and turns and shocking revelations that unravel, Liz makes the long journey toward closure. This is a story of bereavement, life-threatening illness and a long, tortuous search for closure-but a story that must be told.
