Book Description
From the author: My brother died on December 13, 2002. I was 21 years old. This is the real, raw story of how, in my grief, death threatened to swallow me up. It's about anger and abandonment and a monsoon of tears. This is also the real, raw story of how, in my grief, I saw death swallowed up by life. It's about joy and love and holy defiance. It's the story of how my brother died. And I didn't. Praise for Swallowed Up: "This book is a breathtaking and beautiful look at what it means to be alive in a world full of death. Unflinchingly honest, thoughtful, and deeply inspiring just like the author who wrote it. Smart, heartfelt, and often hilarious, I had no clue how much I needed to read this book. It will be a source of healing and comfort to many.'This book is for anyone who has ever felt loss or found themselves at a loss for how to comfort someone grieving. A profound look at how we grapple with love and faith and daily life in the face of great loss." -Brad Montague, New York Times bestselling author, creator of the Kid President video series, joy rebel.
