It began as an ordinary, uneventful day in December 1994--without any warnings, whispered messages in her ear, or premonitions that this would be the last normal day Karen Frenette would ever experience. It was the day her nineteen-year-old son, Corey, would take his last breath.

In her memoir, "Lost in Grief: A Mom's Story, " Frenette narrates the poignant story of her long and difficult journey through the emotional dark wood of grief after her son was tragically killed in a car crash. With raw honesty, Frenette details the sixteen-year-long process of how she found her way back to discovering the goodness in life, even after expriencing the worst it had to deliver. As she offers inspiration for other parents grieving their own losses, she recalls how she struggled with her own fears, doubts, and pain, wondering if the all-consuming deep ache of yearning would ever cease.

"Lost in Grief: A Mom's Story" offers help and guidance any parent who has endured the death of a child and needs to know that through all the darkness there is someone in the world who truly understands.

Adam Smith's theory on morals provides the philosophical bedrock for his future works on economics, including his most famous book The Wealth of Nations. Published in 1759, this work sees Smith follow the lead of his tutor and mentor Francis Hutcheson. He divides his ethical examinations into four broad categories: ethics and virtue; private rights and natural liberties; rights of the family; and state and individual rights. Although lesser known compared to Adam Smith's later works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments is an influential work of philosophy in its own right, with the greatest effect being upon its author.
