She lost a leg to amputation from childhood bone cancer. She lost a son to complications at birth. She lost another son to a heart defect. She lost a husband to divorce. Each of these losses has left her altered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn her debut memoir, Couture relives these tragedies alongside the joys that fill the spaces in between. With a quiet wisdom, she explores the dichotomies of grief--how a dismantling necessitates growth, how trauma will at once harden and soften a person.
