Fourteen-year-old Claire learns that both her parents have cancer. Her fear compels her to make a series of fraught choices. When the inevitable happens Claire is inconsolable at the revelation that suddenly she is no one’s special person. It is only later, when Claire falls in love, marries and becomes a mother, that she emerges from the fog of grief. Using the five stages of grief as a window onto her personal experience, Claire has written a powerful memoir.
