I came across Matt Logelin a couple of years ago via another blog I follow -- and there was absolutely NO reason that I would have followed him other than his words were strangely compelling. He had lost his wife a day after his daughter Maddy was born, and he had started a blog prior to that to keep family and friends updated on their progress. His wife Liz was on strict bedrest and then eventually in the hospital the last two weeks before giving birth, so he would put on updates on the blog. And then when his wife died and he was left with a tiny infant on his own, he continued to blog and came up with a huge following. It was not unusual for him to get three to 400 or more responses to a blog post. All these women came out of the woodwork to offer him advice, support and in many cases, just an ear. In a few short years he had a book deal and he wrote this book. I knew the story, but decided to get the book anyway -- and it was a tear jerker for sure. I am serious, I could only read a chapter at a time before I would just be a mess, sobbing. I think it hit a lot of people like that, as I read in the blog.I would strongly recommend it -- it is just a human story, as human as it gets, really.
