"This book is a celebration of friendship and family, and in the end it left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling."

--Nadia Lachance, Elle Girl

"A sentimental tale of sweethearts parted by death,"

--New York Magazine

Holly and Gerry are the kind of perfectly happy married couple that others envy. Then, at the age of thirty, Gerry is diagnosed with a terrible illness. Months after Gerry’s death, Holly receives a package of letters that he’s left for her, instructing her to perform a series of unexpected tasks. With the help of the letters-- and her fun, quick-witted girlfriends and a raucously endearing family that smothers, loves, and drives her crazy--Holly wobbles, weaves, and jokes her way toward a new life, even larger than the one that she’s been forced to leave behind.
