One of the best books I have read in a long time...I couldn't put it down (stayed up ALL night reading for two days). Wildgen does such an amazing job of brining the characters and situations to life, breathtaking!

Helpful Score: 5
An easy to read but sad book about someone with ALS. Tells the story of a caregiver learning how to care for someone with this disease but learns so much about herself and what others are willing to sacrifice in tragedy.

I really enjoyed reading this book, couldn't put it down. Bec is a college student who has lost her way, having an affair with Liam, a married professor, unsatisfied with her major, and unhappy with her job as a waitress. She finds herself after answering an ad to be a caregiver for a woman named Kate who has ALS, with whom she becomes very close. Kate ends up having a major influence on Bec, who finally breaks it off with Liam, quits school, and persues a career as a chef after learning how to cook while caring for Kate. The ending is thought-provoking, albeit sad. This is a very touching coming-of-age type of story that will make you wonder, "What would I have done?" I highly recommend this book, beautifully written!

When Bec takes a job as a caregiver for a woman with ALS, she never guesses that she will be transformed. Not only does she learn to be a caregiver, but she learns about her strength and true heart when faced with the most impossible of situations. You'll feel right at home with Becky and Kate and dread the inevitable ending as much as they do.
