Synopsis

There is perhaps no greater sorrow than the loss of a child.

In her inspirational new memoir, author Vicky Bates reflects on her journey of love and joy and encourages readers to remember their loved one—all while moving on and living the life their child would want them to live.

Vicky and her husband, Steve, are a professional couple in their forties who decide to adopt two

children later in life. They happily adjust their lives to accommodate their expanding family…but suffer a terrible blow when one of the children dies before his tenth birthday. The tragedy sets into motion a host of new issues, including a heavy strain on the couple's twenty-eight-year marriage.

Eventually, Vicky and Steve manage to find hope in each other and find strength with the power of love and laughter. The death of their child proved to be a great loss—but not the end.

Empty Jacket helps other grieving parents move through the rough days and nights that follow the loss of a child. It will help them find the purpose in their child's short life while acting as a true and positive account of the healing that can come after death.
