Once More We Saw Stars by Jayson Greene

Once More We Saw Stars by Jayson Greene

An unforgettable memoir of courage and transformation and "the power of love in the face of unimaginable loss" (Cheryl Strayed).

"A miracle.... A narrative of grief and acceptance that is compulsively readable and never self-indulgent." --The New York Times Book Review

Two-year-old Greta Greene is sitting with her grandmother on a park bench on the Upper West Side of Manhattan when a brick crumbles from a windowsill overhead, falls, and strikes her unconscious. She is immediately rushed to the hospital. Jayson Greene's memoir begins with this event and with the anguish he and his wife, Stacy, confront in the wake of their daughter's trauma and the hours leading up to her death. But Once More We Saw Stars quickly becomes a narrative that is as much about hope and healing as it is about grief and loss. Jayson recognizes, even in the midst of his ordeal, that there will be a life for him beyond it--that if only he can continue moving forward, from one moment to the next, he will survive what seems unsurvivable.

With raw honesty, deep emotion, and exquisite tenderness, Jayson Greene captures both the fragility of life and absoluteness of death, and most important of all, the unconquerable power of love. This is a book that will change the way you look at the world.

Jayson Greene is a Pitchfork contributor and former senior editor. His work has featured in magazines such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and GQ, among others. This is his debut novel. With his wife and son, he lives in Brooklyn.
