About four years ago I was home on maternity leave with my son and I came across a blog with an extraordinary story. Matt Logelin found himself raising his daughter alone after his wife died suddenly the day after their daughter, Madeline, was born. Since Maddy and my son were only one month apart in age, I followed his blog closely and eventually became involved with the non-profit that Matt started to help widows and widowers with young children. About a year ago, Matt published a memoir with Grand Central and last week, Two Kisses For Maddy came out in paperback! To mark its paperback printing (with a new chapter!!) I am giving away two paperback copies.
Here is a little bit about the memoir:
Although it is sad, this book is also funny and uplifting. It’s the story of how a tragedy was turned into something good and I think that everyone can find something to love about this book. As a bonus, Matt has pledged to donated a portion of his profits to The Liz Logelin Foundation, which gives financial assistance to widows and widowers with children.
