From the horrific phone call that changed her life forever to the devastating acceptance that her son, Derek, a 22-year-old college senior in the best shape of his life, suffered a \"freak accident\" playing the game he loved, to the shocking twist: an anonymous email that detailed the gruesome truth, that her son's death was, in fact, preventable, compelling an investigation, a lawsuit, and ultimately a landmark settlement against the NCAA. Very Dark Places captures how quickly a life of joy can turn into a life of unimaginable grief, and it delves into an exploration of the pain and struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that has been shattered. Grief is love, and since love never ends, neither does grief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristen Sheely\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798993257006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Derek Sheely Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Kristen Sheely","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440666030335,"sku":"9798993257006","price":34.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cbe22d1-8789-4e41-adb6-9c795261f66f.jpg?v=1777183988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/very-dark-places-kristen-sheely-9798993257006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
