Losing Logan

About the Book

Imagine your life is close to perfect. You're a mother and a wife. Your son has just graduated from high school with honors and is headed for college in the Fall. All the hopes and dreams you've woven for your children from the time they were born are finally coming true. It's a magical time in your life as a parent.

Imagine you're a sister. You adore your older brother, just 12 months your senior. He's been your biggest competitor, your biggest fan, your worst critic and your best friend. He's just graduated from high school as co-salutatorian of the senior class.

Then, with absolutely no warning, the rug is ripped out from under you. A police officer visits your house and tells you your son, your brother, Logan, is dead.

Wasn't he just on the phone? Wasn't he just joking around in the kitchen? His wet towel is still on the floor of his bedroom. Why isn't he here where he belongs? Pam and Alex Hurliman offer the reader the rare perspectives of both mother and sister, working together - and apart - to dig their way out of the hell that became their lives without Logan. They bravely share the sometimes not-so-pretty picture of two strong-willed individuals shocked by an unexpected turn of events, just when life seemed too good to be true. They show us the times they clung to each other and the times that tore them apart. Losing Logan is a book about losing, loving, living through the unimaginable and coming out changed - and whole - on the other side.
