First you think this is a book about dying, the way one person deals with it in their life time, time and time again.
All the females in Eliza's family has suffered from a rare BRCA1 cancer, all have died. Is she cursed as well, immune? At a family reunion she meets her Aunt Nora, shunned by the family for what reason she doesn't know. A bond is formed, and we learn of Nora's story in her eyes of her true love. Eliza being called upon by Nora, goes across the sea to be with her, take care of her and listen o her story. A story she comes to ind out is just that.
She learns about love, life, surviving and comes to realize that she has been drawing her story. The change within her is so great, the lessons she has learned has brought her the one thing she has always wanted.
This is not a story about dying, but about living.
Cheers to E.M. Tippits... Great story and even a greater lesson
