Kate Gross was dying of cancer when she wrote this book and far from being morbid or depressing, it shines with wisdom, grace, beauty.
It is inspiring, beautifully written, and uplifting. I was awed by this woman’s bravery, her wisdom, her courage. Just beautiful. It taught me to savour every moment instead of letting it slip through my fingers, to look for wonder instead of giving in to drudgery, to celebrate every day I’ve been given in this beautiful, terrible world.
