About this listen

A moving, transcendent memoir of the loss of a child and the survival of love in the wake of unimaginable tragedy. For listeners who loved Paul Kalanithi's When Breath Becomes Air.

Two-year-old Greta Greene is sitting chatting with her grandmother on a park bench in New York when a brick crumbles from a windowsill overhead and strikes her unconscious. As she is rushed to hospital in the hours before her death, Once More We Stars leads us into the unimaginable.

Her father Jayson and mother Stacy begin a painful journey that is as much about hope and healing as it is grief and loss. Even in the midst of his ordeal, Jayson recognises that there will be a life for him beyond it - if he can only continue moving forward, from one moment to the next, he will survive what seems unsurvivable. With raw honesty, deep emotion, and exquisite tenderness, he captures the fragility of life and the absoluteness of death, and most important of all, the unconquerable power of love.

This is an unforgettable memoir of courage and transformation - and an audiobook that will change the way you look at the world.

This is an amazing book, beautifully read by the author which makes it all the more powerful. The story of the loss of his 2 year old daughter and how he and his wife existed subsequently is told in hauntingly lyrical language. Still in a degree of shock having just finished this precious tale.

Tragically beautiful

Just finished this book and am having a good cry.
My brother died when he was 2. I was 4 at the time. We talk about him, he's always there but they find it so hard to talk about their feelings at the time and after. After reading this book i feel i understand their grief a bit better. Going to recommend they give it a read too x

This is an incredible piece of writing. Truly inspiring that this much hope and beauty can be born from such a tragedy. I could not stop listening. Squeezed my babies extra tight today.

Phenomenal.

Greene’s narrative which takes us through the agony of parent grief is so delicately but compellingly written that one feels one has travelled a little of the road these parents have. Through his narrative, the reader's emotions are etched by the agony of the journey. But more importantly, we also experience the miracle of human recovery in the aftermath of such an event. Luminous. A MUST READ. Dont shy away because it is painful. It is a beautiful love story, and hugely uplifting.

The power of love and grief in perfect balance
