Life is full of small details that we tuck away somewhere to revisit later on when we need them most: the calming sound of the sea, that childlike joy when you feel the sun hit your face on an early February morning. The small details which, knitted together, make up an ordinary life. Few understood the importance of these more than Sarah Hughes, who lived with terminal metastatic cancer for over three years and who sadly passed away in April 2021. This book is a celebration of everything that can make up a life, and how to hold it all close: cherish the perspective-changing, exhale-bringing perspective of a trashy novel; learn the upside of chemo (finally being able to fit into flippy French tea dresses); explore the intimate topography of a body that's yours and yours alone.
