New York, NY (prsafe) February 21, 2012 - The news that her only child, Clarke, was killed in a freak car accident, could have ended author Stephanie Benbenek's life as well. Instead, she wrote a story to help cope with this senseless tragedy. The book is, "...keeping Clarke. One son. One day. One mom's personal journey through grief." - an honest and compelling story of living, dying and honoring loved ones lost.
