About This Book
Lessons from a Life Fully Lived
Hannah's Gift addresses a mother's deepest fear: the death of a child.
Amazingly, Maria Housden's skillful writing and mature understanding of grief
make this a spiritually inspiring story about life. Housden is eager for us to
learn all the lessons Hannah offered while she was dying of cancer, such as
wearing red shoes that click and sparkle when you walk and never letting a
doctor touch you without knowing their first name. For the reader, however, the
most compelling character is Housden, a mother who endures the unfathomable. One
morning Housden looks at her face in the mirror and realizes, "The grief that
once threatened to swallow me up had found a home in my bones. My suffering
wasn't something I was going to have to let go of; it became part of what I had
to offer, part of who I am." Sure, you're going to cry. But it's the kind of
heart-cracking-open cry that comes from an abundance of feelings: sorrow for
this wise and gut-honest narrator; tenderness for Will, the loyal older brother
that Hannah left behind; and love for this baffling, wonderful life that gives
us gifts like Hannah. --Gail Hudson
