Reaching For Beautiful

A luminous story of how love triumphs over pain and love never dies; this debut memoir from a mother grieving her young-adult son’s death is a must-read for any parent who has lost a child, is raising a child from the edge of their seat, or whose family struggles with addiction. When Sally McQuillen’s twenty-one-year old son died in a boat accident, her greatest fear was realized. Christopher was often drawn to risk and struggled with addiction. In this riveting memoir, she captures the wild ride of his jam-packed life and her deep love for him while reflecting on her own childhood and family’s legacy of alcoholism. She is a psychotherapist in private practice specializing in addiction recovery, grief and trauma healing.
