My Life Closed Twice is a non-fiction work of great depth and emotion chronicling the life of one woman following the deaths of her husband and son within 24 hours of each other. Told with hope and humor, this inspirational story says something about how an ordinary person survives extraordinary tragedy-without drugs, psychiatry, or a nervous breakdown. Interweaving episodes from her past, author Sandra Klamkin Schocket speaks to readers who must build new lives, not just in response to death, but after divorce, illness, or loss of job or home.
