I recently borrowed from the library a very moving fiction book about a 30 something marketing career woman diagnosed with a brain tumor, has a on-off boyfriend, and a younger sister who runs her own restaurant.
As the tumor increases in size and her diagnosis becomes terminal she decides to start writing after refusing more treatment. She moves back home, leaves her job and writes how she wishes her life could have been. As she writes about her hopes and dreams, fiction becomes reality. In her dream world there is a "shop keeper" that supports her and steers what's left of her life in particular directions. One of the final lines in the book was that she met up with the shop keeper to close her account.
The author is female and I remember reading that her son had a brain tumor and she used his/their experiences in the book.
The book is amazing and heart wrenching but also positive, but I stupidly now cannot recall either the title or author and it is driving me crazy!
Can anyone help?
