Description

In her work as a 'death doula', Clover Brooks ushers people peacefully through their last days, collecting their final words into three notebooks- ADVICE, CONFESSIONS and REGRETS.


But Clover spends so much time with the dying that she's forgotten how to live...


Can her clients' hard-won wisdom - and the inspiring love story of a spirited old woman named Claudia - show Clover the way to a happy ending?


After all, what's the point of giving someone a beautiful death if you can't give yourself a beautiful life?
