Elizabeth Spann Craig

Author

I love reading and writing books about friendships. The one featured in this book is unique: between a pair of terminally-ill patients, one a teen, one an octogenarian.

Full of humor and excellent character development, it’s a thoughtful, beautiful story about making your own family, handling life changes with grace, and the knowledge that it's never too late for true love.

From Elizabeth's 3 favorite reads in 2023.

Author

This book tells the story of a teenage girl with terminal cancer who befriends a hospital chaplain and an elderly woman during her last year of life.

She asks the big questions of life and finds friendship and meaning during existential and physical struggle. You cannot help but fall in love with the characters and share their efforts to find self, meaning, and hope during great struggle.

From Karen's list on becoming a better human even when you're not sure you want to.
