“’Loving Allie,’ provides an incredibly powerful account of the grieving and healing process for anyone who finds herself or himself at odds and ‘lost’ in trying to find the way out of the darkness that such a tragedy brings to the grieving family. This alone is an enormous gift to leave behind for those searching for guidance and understanding of what often feels as ‘not understandable.’”
