What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Put your heart out there.
Let it get broken.
Take chances.
Make mistakes . . .
Let yourself live.
-----
Clover Brooks has always felt a stronger connection with those at the end of their life than in the middle of it. She dedicates herself to ushering people peacefully though their final days, working as a death doula in New York City. Her client's last words are collected in three treasured notebooks, neatly labelled: ADVICE, CONFESSIONS and REGRETS.
Then she meets Claudia: a woman who has had the kind of life that Clover hasn't dared imagine for herself. But even Claudia has one regret. Now, with only an old love letter, a road map and a leap of faith, Clover begins her first adventure...
A big-hearted story about figuring out what we really want from life - and finding the courage to go after it.
