Clover Brooks has forgotten how to live.
It might be because she spends her time caring for people in their final days, working as a death doula in New York City.

But then she meets Claudia: a feisty old woman who has one last wish . . .
As Clover begins a new adventure, will she remember how to live her own big, beautiful life?
