Honest, funny and deeply moving, this is an unforgettable story about facing the worst and surviving. Luke's life is rudely interrupted when his mum, Pat, collapses at the hospital where she works.

Thoughtful Luke, nearly 15, and his accident-prone younger brother Jesse each cope in their own ways.

As time goes on it is clear Pat is not going to recover, and Luke's world rearranges itself, while friends and family rally round.
