About this listen

The utterly heartbreaking, beautiful book club pick from the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont

Dear Edie, I wanted you to know so many things. I wanted to tell you them in person, as you grew up by my side. But it wasn’t to be…

When Jess gives birth to Edie, it’s the happiest day of her life. She knows, from the moment her little girl’s hand grasps her finger, that her daughter owns her heart, completely and utterly. And even though Edie’s father has left them, and single motherhood isn’t easy, her beautiful, innocent child brings her untold joy.

But then Jess receives a diagnosis that changes everything. Edie’s life—that is just beginning—is interrupted by worried looks, heavy conversations. And Jess must face the possibility of leaving her daughter to grow up without her.

Propelled by a ticking clock, Jess knows what she has to do. She begins to put pen to paper, to tell her daughter everything she might need to know.

How to love, how to lose, how to forgive, and, most importantly, how to live when you never know how long you have…

A heartfelt story of the navigating forces of hope and love when all else seems lost. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and David Nicholls.
