Quiet and studious, she likes to read, and is very close to her family, especially her kid brother. When she starts suffering from debilitating headaches, she visits her doctor, who delivers stunning news: Kate is dying. She has an inoperable brain tumour that could end her life at any moment. As her family and the members of the small community she lives in struggle to accept her diagnosis, Kate becomes determined to make the most of the time she has left. She falls in love with the boy locked up in the local jail and befriends the town recluse. Valerie Sherrard's new novel is a moving tale about a young woman experiencing the best days of her life, all the while aware that the time she has left is rapidly disappearing. |
