520    On a hot, New England summer day in 2014, tragedy befell 
       author Lindsey Rogers-Seitz and her family when her 
       husband inadvertently left their fifteen-month-old son, 
       Benjamin, in the back seat of their car all day where he 
       then passed away from the heat.     With raw emotion and 
       grit, Lindsey chronicles the aftermath of her son's death 
       in this debut memoir as she and her husband explore the 
       intricacies of unimaginable pain, love, and the challenges
       of forgiveness on the other side of broken. She skillfully
       weaves in her personal experiences with manic depression 
       and the mutual support and love found throughout her 
       marriage.     Aside from overwhelming grief and loss, the 
       family also had to deal with the media and public scrutiny
       due to the emotionally-charged and highly politicized 
       nature of Ben's death. We learn of their grueling journey 
       navigating the legal system and battles with child 
       protective services, through which Lindsey was profiled 
       and discriminated against due to her history with mental 
       illness.     After years of reflection and healing, 
       Lindsey finds her path to self-acceptance, as the love she
       found in her son's life gives her the power to, in turn, 
       love herself. That is the love of a son for his mother-the
       gift of Ben.
