Losing Zoie

Karina Adams-wife and mother of five working in aged care-lived a happy, positive life in her hometown of Ulladulla on the New South Wales South Coast. That was until Wednesday, the 1st of July, 2020 changed Karina's life as she knew it. Her fourteen-year-old daughter Zoie was hit and killed by a school bus as she was leaving school.

Is it possible to be happy again without my daughter?

Will my pain ever end?

How do I arrive at acceptance and gratitude for what I still have?

Karina asks herself these questions and answers them in this inspirational memoir, as she describes her heartache, strength, and resilience in raw, honest detail. Initially, Karina's grief was tortuous and endless, but her love for her husband and four boys made Karina's perseverance involuntary. Gradually life became a little more bearable, and eventually Karina began to feel joy and peace back in her life.
