The book, Carter hopes, can help others get through a life-altering tragedy, but it has also helped her get through hers. "Many bereaved parents feel the need to reach out to others. I think because we have survived what we thought was an impossible thing to survive, we want to share that hope. I've had a lot of positive feedback from the book. Lots of letters from women who lost their children."

The author's loss is so incredibly described that the reader finds it difficult not to stop and say a silent prayer….Some family acquaintances made the comment Stephen died as God's punishment for Marcia Carter divorcing her husband! What callousness!….it was not an easy book to write. It is emotional and caring. Perhaps every teenage driver should be required to read this book.

Using the metaphor of a raft, she describes the special people in her life as giving her yet another board to add to it…..By the final chapter of the book, "A Year and a Half Later," Mrs. Carter found she had built her raft of survival.
