Half a Life: A Memoir by Darin Strauss

41YIKE6pEiL__SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_AA160_ 2 people involved in an accident. He lives. She dies. Most will assume there is only one victim but what about the survivor.

Darin Strauss takes us on his life journey from the age of 18 when the accident occurred to the present. Between those 2 points in time is a difficult and winding road through survivor’s guilt and a never ending battle to reconcile what society expects of him with how he feels.

Can he ever forgive himself and move on or will he continue to live only “half a life” struggling with thoughts of what her life would have been if she had survived?

This is a tragic yet inspiring story that will make you stop and take an inventory of your own life.
