This is the story of Emma's life.

For three long years, she has battled with illness, enduring everything with bravery and always with hope. Then one day Emma is told that they've reached the end of the road. While her family and friends are thrown into denial, anger and grief, Emma feels something else: a spark of defiance. There is still life to be lived, still dreams to touch.

So she begins to write, not just her story, but the life she's always imagined. And as her body weakens, the line between the life she writes and the life she lives begins to blur. Each page becomes a step, each word a chance to leap, each imagined moment a fragile, beautiful reality.

Through love and imagination, Emma discovers that even as the body falls, the spirit can rise, and sometimes, the only way to survive is to find another way to fall in love with life.

A moving, life-affirming story for readers who love Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Nicole Trope.
