Jim Beaver started writing nightly emails to his family and friends when him and his wife, Cecily Adams, were learning and going through her lung cancer diagnosis. Eventually this turned into more than 4000 people reading his email nightly.

This book is a memoir of the turmoil and pain they went through the year it happened and is one of the most fantastic and heartbreaking reads I’ve ever come across.

Since it’s real life, I don’t seem too concerned about Spoiler Alerts. Cecily died March 3rd 2004. She is survived by Jim and their daughter Madeline Rose.

This is a tearjerker people, made me cry like a little girl. Bring tissues.

Come to the edge.
