In the aftermath of her tragic death her husband Brendan Cox urged us to remember Jo''s life and what she stood for and not the manner of her death. In this inspiring and impassioned portrait of Jo - as daughter, mother, wife, sister, MP and campaigner - we see how much she gave and much more she had to give.

Jo comes across as \u003cb\u003ea thoroughly decent person who was on a mission to change what she saw as an unjust world\u003c\/b\u003e... And it is all \u003cb\u003eutterly heart-breaking\u003c\/b\u003e because you know as you read the book that all of this happiness, drive and energy is going to come to a sudden, needless and irrevocable end... This is not an easy read. It is overwhelmingly sad at times and the chapters that deal with the immediate aftermath of Jo's death, where Brendan wrestles with how to tell his children what has happened, are almost unbearable...
