Publisher's summary

Allison Holker Boss opens up for the first time on the loss of her beloved husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the untold story of the emotional weight he carried, and the importance of hope and the power of family in the midst of grief.

On a December morning in 2022, the world awoke to the shocking news that Stephen tWitch Boss had tragically taken his own life. Loved the world over for his infectious joy, unending smile and incredible talent, the former co-host of Ellen seemed to be in his prime, raising three beautiful children with the love of his life, Allison. And then suddenly he was gone, leaving behind a loving family filled with unending questions and wide range of emotions that no one should have to experience. This is their story.

With unflinching vulnerability and a deep desire to help others in their darkest moments, Boss sets out on a journey to bring healing to herself and to her family. Along the way, she experiences both laughter and tears, anger and confusion, but also the beauty that can co-exist as one moves on to find new experiences, joy, and purpose.

This Far will serve as a beacon of hope and comfort for anyone experiencing grief, as Allison and her family learned firsthand when they saw how quickly life can be taken away. Losing Stephen taught them, and the world, that life is a precious gift, no matter what challenges we face. It can be difficult to feel grateful in the midst of darkness, but it is a blessing to be able to experience pain, as it means we are also capable of experiencing vast love and joy. This Far will inspire others to find strength and hope in their darkest moments and remind them that there is always a way forward, no matter how difficult the road may seem. In difficult times, Allison chooses Life.
