Non-Fiction
In a powerful and intimate memoir, Jackie Hance shares
her story of unbearable loss, darkest despair, and—slowly,
painfully, and miraculously—her cautious return to hope and
love. Until the horrific car accident on New York
State’s Taconic Parkway that took the lives of her three
beloved young daughters, Jackie Hance was an ordinary Long
Island mom, fulfilled by the joyful chaos of a household
bustling with life and chatter and love. After the tragedy,
she was “The Taconic Mom,” whose unimaginable loss embodied
every parent’s worst nightmare. Suddenly, her life-long
Catholic faith no longer explained the world. Her marriage
to her husband, Warren, was ravaged by wrenching grief and
recrimination. And her mind, unable to cope with the
unfathomable, reinvented reality each night, so she awoke
each morning having forgotten the heartbreaking facts: that
Emma, age 8; Alyson, age 7; and Katie, age 5, were gone
forever. They were killed in a minivan driven by their aunt,
Jackie’s sister-in-law, Diane Schuler, while returning from
a camping weekend on a sunny July morning.
I’ll See You Again chronicles the day Jackie
received the traumatizing phone call that defied all
understanding, and the numbed and torturous events that
followed—including the devastating medical findings that
shattered Jackie to the core and shocked America. But this
profoundly honest account is also the story of how a
tight-knit community rallied around the Hances, providing
the courage and strength for them to move forward. It’s a
story of forgiveness, hope, and rebirth, as Jackie and
Warren struggle to rediscover the possibility of joy by
welcoming their fourth daughter, Kasey Rose Hance.
The story that Jackie Hance shares for the first time
will touch your heart and warm you to the power of love and
hope.
