Title: Insightful, raw, and honest. An excellent book.
Review: Cleage wastes no time in letting the reader know right away who the character is and what the reader is seemingly in for. However, the true theme of the story is revealed once Ava begins to discover herself hidden inside the fears that she won't confess and the home she once left in pursuit of a real life for herself.The story has plenty of unexpected twists and brutal reality, although at times it seems somewhat contrived, particularly near the end. However, the author did a fantastic job presenting us with woman who faces, with grim determination, her inevitable demise and yet runs from happiness because her own fear is greater than the awful disease she carries. What results is a woman who finds out that the truly brave are the ones who cannot see tomorrow but step to meet it anyway.I very much enjoyed this book, and I look forward to more from Pearl Cleage.
