Book Description

29 July 2011

Maria Housden tells of her own transformation, as a mother, a wife and a woman, as she struggled to cope with the death of her daughter Hannah and make the hardest decision of her life. From the author of the bestselling Hannah’s Gift.

At the age of 36, instead of enjoying the perfect family life she had imagined as a child, Maria felt judged and found wanting by others. She realised that, no matter how much she still loved her husband and how powerful her bond of love was with her children, she had to change her life radically – she had to make it her own again. What followed was an emotional and enlightening search for herself.

Written in the same moving, lyrical style as Hannah’s Gift, the story unfolds in a series of painful, joyful and humorous moments. At times the story is heart-wrenchingly sad but ultimately it is uplifting and inspiring.

After Reading Hannah's Gift, I felt compelled to read this book and was just as gripped. Having one young daughter of my own I really felt for this women and what she went through losing her daughter to Cancer at such a young and tender age. I would very highly recommend this book as I couldn't put it down.............

1.0 out of 5 stars SELF INDULGENT, VAIN, AND PIOUS, TRULY AWFUL 3 May 2006
Format:Paperback
I had been genuinely moved and inspired by Hannah's Gift and bought this the moment I saw it, believing that the reader would be invited to share in Maria's recovery from what must surely be the most harrowing and tragic experience in any mother's life. While reading Hannah's gift I felt truly involved and cared deeply about how the family and Maria herself could rebuild their lives.
I tired of this book VERY quickly... and soon found the sub-title, "The woman who DARED to become a different kind of Mother" extremely irritating and almost offensive... Maria did not Dare to do anything, she found herself in circumstances which resulted in her CHOOSING, not daring, to leave her kids behind and go on and make a new life with a new man. Nothing brave or daring about that in my book. I sympathised with her before, now I just found her irritating, patronising, and self - riteous - THIS BOOK, AND MARIA'S CONSTANT REPETITION OF DESCRIPTIONS OF HER OWN PHYSICAL BEAUTY, HEIGHT, LONG LIMBS, AND UNASHAMED PURSUIT OF AND "DESTINY" LIKE BELIEF IN THE MAN SHE MET ON HER RETREAT ARE TRULY, AND QUITE SIMPLY, INTENSLEY IRRITATING AND ADD NOTHING TO THE PLOT, NOR DO THEY RELATE TO THE TITLE, AND I WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO SAY THAT THIS BOOK IS NO MORE THAN A SELF-INDULGENT FRIPPERY BY AN AUTHOR SERIOUSLY DELUDED ABOUT HER LITERARY ABILITY. IRRITATING BEYOND WORDS. Such a dissapointment.

3.0 out of 5 stars A man who dared to be different dad? 21 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
As a mother of three who sometimes wonders am I doing the motherhood bit right, this title pulled me in. Maria has had more reason than most to re-evaluate her life with the tragic death of her daughter. However I am not sure she was brave to leave her kids with their dad - I think it was her husband who was brave to take them on and let her start over! All divorced mums I know end up taking most of the responsibility for child rearing and have no time to build a new life, so good luck to Maria, and I hope she makes the most of it.
