Say Her Name

Francisco Goldman married a beautiful young writer named Aura Estrada in a romantic Mexican hacienda in the summer of 2005. The month before their second anniversary, during a long-awaited holiday, Aura broke her neck while body-surfing. Francisco, blamed for Aura's death by her family and blaming himself, wanted to die, too. But instead he wrote a fictionalized account of his great love and unspeakable loss, tracking the stages of grief when pure love gives way to bottomless pain.
