[Mia Sullivan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is that rare literary creature that manages to uplift and instill hope while delivering an unflinching and deeply personal account of prematurely losing a loved one. The prose is poetic yet precise. The story seamlessly weaves in and out of the present and the past. The scenes are evocative, each carefully selected imagery immersing the reader in the mundane-to-profound aspects of an extraordinary man whose earthly life was cut short by ALS. Writing this memoir, Larkin McPhee ensures that the beautiful spirit of her younger brother Charles continues to soar.

[Stephen Kiernan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Before this book, every family memoir I read was written as an act of revenge. Not this time.

This is a story of sibling love, rendered with vivid and compelling detail. But it is not saccharine. This family is facing one of the worst diagnoses, offering the least hope, yet they refuse to succumb to despair.

You may cry at this book. You will definitely find yourself inspired to live to the fullest -- and to show sibling love as genuinely as you dare.

A quick and easy read, highly recommend.
