Hannah's List

Hannah’s List is a story that delves into personal loss, healing and learning to love again.

I didn’t know if I would like a man reading this type of book but Fred Stella was perfect for the story of Dr. Michael Everett. It depicts the man’s point of view after the loss of his wife. It does not deal with death as much as it shows life after such a loss.

This story really begins on the first year anniversary of his wife’s death when he receives a letter Hannah left for him before she died. Hannah speaks of her love for Michael and her wish for him to remarry. She even offers the names of three women she would like him to date. He is shocked to get the letter and can’t imagine moving on with his life. Because of his love for his wife he decides to date the three women Hannah suggested and shares the emotional side of dating again.

While not diminishing his love for Hannah it tells the story of finding happiness again. Hannah’s List could have been a very depressing book about death but Debbie made it into a book of hope and learning to love again after tragedy.
