Reaching for Beautiful

from Life 2.0 · host John St. Augustine

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, Sally captures the wild ride of his jam-packed life and her deep love for him while reflecting on her own childhood and her family’s legacy of alcoholism.  A powerful conversation with an incredible author and reluctant prophet on what it's like living through unrelenting grief, and finding a measure of purpose in unimaginable loss.
