About this listen

The inspiring, life-affirming memoir from Nicola Nuttall about her incredible daughter Laura

When Nicola Nuttall was told that her 18-year-old daughter Laura had only 12 months to live, following a diagnosis of the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, she couldn’t begin to process her emotions. It was her greatest fear come true.

But while her mother struggled to adjust and searched for new treatments, Laura made a decision: she would live her life to the full and embark on an extraordinary bucket list.

Meeting Michelle Obama, piloting a Royal Navy ship, sky diving, going on safari in South Africa, driving monster trucks, taking tea at the Ritz, dancing on stage in front of thousands and graduating from university were just some of the many adventures Laura undertook.

The Stars Will Still Be There is Nicola’s raw but beautifully written account of helping her daughter make the most of her remaining time, while dealing with her own pain along with that of her younger daughter Gracie and husband, Mark.

This is a heartbreaking, life-changing memoir that reveals the fragility of humans, the power of love and why we should all ‘Be More Laura’ every single day.

Incredibly moving

I followed Nicola’s journey on Twitter over the years - and I was devastated when Laura passed last year. This book was an incredible account of Laura’s battle and truly touched me deeply - I found myself crying on the subway so I do not recommend reading during a commute! Nicola has the ability to capture her grief with such poignancy. I found myself breathless at some of her descriptions, but then a bit of dark humor (perhaps a bit of Laura?) would pop up to really capture the true mindf*ck she was experiencing. I’m a 35 year old woman living in New York City. I never met Laura and our worlds are thousands of miles apart - but she is regularly on my mind. This book has pushed me to be a better person in my life, a life I am lucky to have. I can’t recommend this book enough and each person touched by it will be one more person positively impacted by Laura’s legacy.
