My Louise: A Memoir

by David Collins

At the age of 34, while seven-months pregnant with her first child, Louise Mooney Collins first discovered the breast cancer that would forever alter the lives of Louise, her husband David, and the daughter who would soon arrive to join their harrowing struggle -- one that ultimately ended with Louise's death nearly three years later. From those experiences and his ensuing grief, and from recollections of the couple's love affair and journeys into his deeper past, David Collins has created this hauntingly beautiful memoir.

Reviews

[Mary · Rating 2 out of 5]

A grieving husband's account of his young wife's tragic struggle with breast cancer. He fights to control his grief and provide a home for their 2 year old daughter. Melancholy and slow moving--not my favorite.
