In the summer of 1990, Cathy's brother, Matty, was knocked down by a car on the way home from a night out, two weeks before receiving his GCSE results. Sitting by his unconscious body in hospital, holding his hand and watching his heartbeat on the monitors, Cathy and her parents willed him to survive.

They did not know then that there are many fates worse than death.

Critic reviews

"I never knew a story of grief could have so much joy in it." (Nina Stibbe, author of Love, Nina)

A raw and heart wrenching memoir of the truth of grief and pain. I felt her agony, despair and guilt on every page. Beautifully written by a courageous woman. I am sure that I am not alone in feeling honoured to have been allowed to see into your heart. Thank you.
