Loved and Missed

Product Information

Your memory and all you did for us will be a shining light to everyone who knew you, mom. We were blessed beyond words to have had you as a part of our lives

Ruth, Eleanor and Lily are the three main characters in this short, quiet and powerful book. Ruth is Eleanor’s mother and Eleanor suffers from drug addiction and gives birth to Lily. Because Ruth knows that Eleanor is in no way equipped for the role of motherhood, at first she steps in to help. After it becomes apparent that Lily could be in danger, she takes on the role of parenting Lily herself. I was so much behind Ruth and urging them both to repair their bond but as life is, there is disappointment and I felt it so much. Susie Boyt has written this book with such depth of feeling and sensitivity. It is so expertly woven together I actually feel honoured to have been part of this books journey.
