I won an advanced reader copy of this book from Goodreads. This was a great effort from a first time novelist. It is actually two stories - the story of Mara, a 42 year old mom and lawyer who has Huntington's Disease and wants to spare her family the difficult road she knows lies ahead and the story of Scott, a teacher and father to be who has 5 days left with the young boy he and his wife have been fostering for the past year. They are connected through an online forum they both participate in. This is a great book club selection - it would definitely spark a lot of interesting discussions.
