At the age of thirty-three, Layton Reid was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. With incredible intimacy, power, insight, and empathy, reporter Dakshana Bascaramurty tells the story of Layton's illness - of his free spirit, effervescence, and captivating personality, and of the journey of his fiercely devoted family. Powerful and unvarnished, drawing on her conversations with Layton, this book contains moments of great beauty and humour, and addresses the consequences of fearing death and what we can gain by accepting its inevitability, as well as reminding us of what it means to live.
