Disaster Falls by Stéphane Gerson 306.85 Ger

This is not a long book but it took me a long, long time to read it.  That has nothing to do with the quality of the book.  It is a well-written book.  It was an interesting book.  It is, however, a very painful book to read.  Stephane, his wife Alison, sons Julian and Owen were on vacation and having a wonderful time on a rafting trip on the Green River in Utah.  In the middle of the trip there is an accident.

This book is the telling of how a family tries to survive a tragedy.  No two people grieve the same.  No two deaths are the same.  Gerson also talks about how others react to the tragedy - classmates, their community, society and even their parents.
