By Lesia Schofer

At age twenty-five, Chris loved being a dad, and he loved people, cars, Chevys, motorcycles, beaches, and the sun. But on a Friday afternoon, all of that ended when he was killed in a motorcycle crash. In Raw and Unspoken, author Lesia Schofer narrates her storythe shock, denial, and tearful agony of losing a child, her firstborn, to death through a sudden tragedy.

In this memoir, she bares her heart and soul, exposing the private and personal pain and sorrow buried deep inside. Honest and emotional, Schofer discusses the heart-wrenching loss of a child and the tumultuous feelings of sadness, grief, and despair she experienced throughout her journey.

Raw and Unspoken tells how the tragedy affected Schofer and how she struggles each day to cope with the pain and the loss. She shares the details of her suffering to let others know they are not alone in their journey.
