Review

This book is an amazing tale of faith, persistence, and love. The unimaginable events that led to her son Nathaniel's death could have broken her. Instead, Dawn Marie Roeder embarked on a journey to help others avoid tragedy by warning them of the unusual side effects of her ADHD medication. She persisted for years, showing incredible strength in fighting the big-moneyed pharmaceutical company. When tragedy strikes an individual's life, and there is none worse than the loss of a child, there is a choice to be made - to go on or to succumb to depression. Dawn Marie's story is a testimony to resilience. --Ellen M. Diana, Ph.D. Psychologist and Author of Charge Up Your Life: Conquer the 6 Barriers to Love, Happiness and Success

Dawn Marie Roeder's personal story takes us on an reflective journey of the painful and tragic loss of her son in a car accident after she suffered an adverse reaction to a prescription drug; then through the ensuing and brutal assassination of her character in court by the legal counsel of the pharmaceutical company she held accountable. Roeder's survival of these events--let alone her miraculous recovery and attitude--is a testimony of her devotion to her Catholic faith and the God she serves. Her victory resonates with the Holy Spirit and gives us comfort and hope that our own seemingly senseless tragedies can also be transformed with God's love and forgiveness. --Gwen Olsen Author of Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher: God's Call to Loving Arms

I know on a personal level the depth of Dawn Marie s loss, having unexpectedly lost my own precious 21-year old son a year ago. Her unwavering faith and strength through her long ordeal has been a real inspiration to me. My heart goes out to her as a mom who understands what she has both lost and gained by the stand she s taken so others can be spared the heartbreak she and her family have suffered. It Doesn t End Here is a must read for anyone who is struggling with loss, especially that of a child. Dawn Marie s honesty and courage will move, inspire and uplift you, as it did me. --April Rovero, Founder/President, National Coalition Against Prescription Drug Abuse

5.0 out of 5 stars A Heartrending Memoir, August 6, 2011
"Blessed is she who without dying has won the martyr's crown." -- from Vespers of Our Lady of Sorrows

It Doesn't End Here by Dawn Marie Roeder is an extraordinary chronicle which I read in one sitting; I simply could not put it down. The beautifully composed and heartrending memoir describes the horrific death of Mrs. Roeder's darling two year old son Nathaniel, her only child, in a car accident. The accident was the result of the side effects of a prescription medication for ADHD, a medication which is known to occasionally induce a psychotic state. Mrs. Roeder, as the unwitting victim of a failure of the medical profession, faced a journey to hell and back again. Interwoven with Scripture passages about the Seven Sorrows of Mary, the book confronts the reality of evil and how innocent people are hurt by it. Holding on to the hope of Heaven and eternity becomes the compass which guides the author back from the abyss.

Mrs. Roeder writes with honest clarity, from the heart, which make the power of the emotions she describes all the more poignant. With many twists, turns and flashbacks, the book reads like a mystery novel in the way that the layers are slowly peeled back to expose the truth. Anyone who has ever suffered a loss will identify with the pain described and find new hope as well. Most of all, a special little boy lives in the pages of the book; he comes to life so one can see him as he was, while knowing that he has a mission which he is even now fulfilling from Heaven.

Not only is the book an awe-inspiring witness to faith but it reveals the insidiousness of the pharmaceutical industry. Mrs. Roeder found herself in a fierce battle with a drug company as she struggled to keep other families from being destroyed by the same medication, still on the market. Some earthly battles we are not meant to win, but for those who love God there is a spiritual victory in each outward failure. Because of the way the author and her family are attacked when they dare to seek justice for Nathaniel, every American should read It Doesn't End Here. People need to see for themselves what could happen to any of us at the hands of those who love money more than they fear God or man.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story of Courage, Trust, Hope and Forgiveness, September 13, 2010
Parenthood makes us vulnerable because when our child is born, we know that we will never be the same and we will do anything to keep him safe. When something happens to him, no matter what the circumstances, it is our worst nightmare. "It Doesn't End Here" is such an account. It is the story of the author's tragic loss of a precious child and the courageous decision to sue those responsible for her son's death. Beautifully written, it is a heart-wrenching story of trust, hope and forgiveness. It is also the story of profound spiritual growth.

The book describes the events surrounding the death of her beloved two-year-old son, Nathaniel, and the ensuing trial. It includes many relevant quotes from Scripture, saints and others. There are poignant photos of the author and her son at varying stages of his short life.

This week we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Dawn Marie Roeder has found strength from Our Lady's journey, so she uses one of the Seven Sorrows of Mary to introduce each chapter, then she tells part of her story, and finishes each chapter with a fond memory of her late son, Nathaniel. Although Catholic teaching is included, this book is for everyone who has lost a child and has struggled to come to terms with it.

This may be a challenging story to read, but a necessary one. It shows that there is always light amidst the darkness. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
