Rachel Wetherby's life has been on hold since the diagnosis of her teenage daughter Shelley with a fatal illness. But when she stumbles upon some objects from her past Rachel unearths secrets and memories best left uncovered.

Rachel Wetherby has just been told the news no mother should ever have to hear. Her daughter, Shelley, has a terminal illness.

Convincing her mum that she'd like to spend her last birthday in Cornwall, a place of so many happy memories, Shelley decides to make every moment count. Because unknown to Rachel, Shelley is juggling a secret romance with planning her own death.

But when she opens a box left by her grandmother, Shelley discovers a past she never knew existed. It's a past that will make her laugh and cry in equal measure. And it will help Shelley and her mother find the joy in every moment that she has left . . .
