In a tiny Colorado town, a man known to his friends as “Dad” is about to die from lung cancer. He only has months left, and almost everyone is trying to prepare themselves for his eventual death. But as Dad muses back on his life, we get a glimpse of other townspeople reflecting on their own lives and making the narrative all the more powerful. From a misunderstood preacher to a young girl who is frightened by death, we get a solid impression of what is fundamental to these people, the regrets they have, and what they are doing to survive their current journey of life. I didn’t know what to expect going into this book, but this novel is pretty intense & beautiful at the same time. A word to the wise: I cried a lot, so if you’re a crier buy an extra box of tissues. It’s available on our New Book Shelf or through our online catalog.
