When Dr. Kate McGarry received a devastating diagnosis of an advanced cancer of unknown origin, she resolved to write a book that would chart her journey as a woman grappling with the news, her roles as a wife and mother, and her experiences as a doctor who had become a patient. As Kate navigated her cancer journey and underwent treatment, she enlisted the help of her husband, fellow doctor, Finbar, to assist her in writing the book. However, tragically, Kate passed away on January 5, 2018. Despite having no writing experience and facing his own deep grief, Finbar took on the task of completing their story. The result is a touching and beautifully written memoir that explores themes of love, loss, and togetherness.

In this memoir, Kate's personal legacy, encompassing her roles as a mother, a wife, and a vibrant personality, is captured with tenderness and honesty. Finbar's dedication to finishing their story is a testament to their love and the profound impact Kate had on their lives. The book serves as a loving tribute to Kate's memory, offering a glimpse into her life and the profound bond she shared with Finbar.

Through their shared experiences, readers are invited to reflect on the complexities of life, love, and loss. Kate's story reminds us of the importance of cherishing every moment and finding strength in the face of adversity. Finbar's dedication to completing their story is a testament to the power of love and the enduring legacy of a life well lived.

This memoir is a must-read for anyone who has been touched by cancer or who seeks to understand the profound impact of love and loss. It is a beautiful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of memory.
