<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Coming soon to Netflix and starring Kevin Hart, this courageous and searingly honest memoir reflects on the first year of the author's life following the birth of his daughter and the death of his wife. </b> <p/>Matt and Liz Logelin were high school sweethearts. After years of long-distance dating, the pair finally settled together in Los Angeles, and they had it all: a perfect marriage, a gorgeous new home, and a baby girl on the way. Liz's pregnancy was rocky, but they welcomed Madeline, beautiful and healthy, into the world. Just twenty-seven hours later, Liz suffered a pulmonary embolism and died instantly, without ever holding the daughter whose arrival she had so eagerly awaited. <p/>Though confronted with devastating grief and the responsibilities of a new and single father, Matt did not surrender to devastation; he chose to keep moving forward--to make a life for Maddy. <p/>In this memoir, Matt shares bittersweet and often humorous anecdotes of his courtship and marriage to Liz; of relying on his newborn daughter for the support that she unknowingly provided; and of the extraordinary online community of strangers who have become his friends. In honoring Liz's legacy, heartache has become solace. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> A tender memoir that combines the deep sadness of loss with the joys of parenthood even under incredibly trying circumstances. -<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> </br></br>Almost unparalleled as a raw and unapologetic portrait of grief, TWO KISSES FOR MADDY is a stunning testimony of the kind of love-- fated, magnificent-- that inspires novels.
