In this anthology we see from the point of view of patients， care-givers and family members。 Physician and writer Sarah Sasson has curated a collection that is international and unforgettable。

In a Californian cafe， a music-lover develops psychosis while drinking green tea。 In a Ghanaian paediatric ward， a doctor cares for a boy with kidney disease， while definitive treatments remain out of reach。 In Melbourne a mother watches as her son resists being taken to respite care。

This is not a book about death and dying。 This is a book about life and how we live it。 These stories reveal what is truly valued in this world， and speak to the ferocity with which we love。
