Summary
Anna lived only a few precious, wonderful months, and when she died, she shattered the lives of her parents. Where is the design to the death of a child? What is left to hold on to?
William Loizeaux began to write a journal. Begun out of the agony of grief and the determination to forget nothing, Anna: A Daughter's Life becomes an affirmation: There is no life without a marker. In the terrible beauty and uncompromising honesty of her father's prose, Anna has her marker. Here is an unforgettable portrait of an unforgettable child that reaches out to us all.

Editor reviews
In Anna: A Daughter's Life, voice actor Kirby Heyborne delivers a heartbreaking performance of William Loizeaux's grief-stricken diary following the death of his infant daughter, Anna. Anna was born in 1989 with VATER syndrome (also known as VACTERLS association), a collection of birth defects - and despite surgeries to repair her young body, she passed away due to unknown complications 5 months later. A tender, devastating memoir of a young life that ended far too soon, Anna: A Daughter's Life is also a beautiful reminder of how precious life truly is.
