Synopsis
A YOUNG WOMAN MAKES A JOURNEY FROM THE EDGE OF DEATH INTO THE JOYS OF LIFE A deeply moving, humourous debut novel in which a young woman in despair is saved by her irrepressibly feisty grandmother and learns to embrace life fully. Jennifer Stempler has nothing left to lose. The love of her life has asked her to move out, her mother died in a senseless car accident five years ago and her famous father has started a brand-new family with no room in it for her. So 23-year-old Jennifer decides to pursue a peaceful and permanent oblivion with the aid of a cocktail of antidepressants and tequila. Even her suicide attempt turns out to be a failure. Gabby Zuckerman refuses to let Jennifer, her granddaughter, self-destruct. In her grandmother's care, Jennifer learns to trust and hope again. Jennifer exposes her paralysing grief at the loss of her mother and learns the painful history of her Nana's past during the Nazi occupation of Poland. By revealing her own tragic and heroic experience, Gabby gives Jennifer an understanding of her own life's value.
When Gabby reveals her own secret - one that proves to be Jennifer's toughest challenge yet - Jennifer struggles to find out if her newfound appreciation of life will sustain her.About the Author
