Description

With a death sentence of an inoperable brain tumor, she tried to come to terms with the meaning of life, her belief in God, her battle with sobriety and her hope of it all ending on the beach. As her life dwindled away, memories of abuse, mistakes, and bad choices haunted her, amid old and new friendships, terrifying nightmares, and fairy tale dreams forcing her past and present worlds to collide.

Review by: Jan Brown on Sep. 08, 2011 :
After reading Kim's review of this book I just knew I had to read it as "biker" and "cancer" perked my interest. I had to smile, laugh and cry and loved spunky Sam in the end for her spirit. Sam has brain cancer and wants to die on the beach rather than in the hospital so she gets with an old friend to hop on their motorcycles and make that one last trip to get to the beach. She finds she wants one last thing done before she dies and though I had a good idea of the answer, there is some real surprises thrown in that I never expected to go with it. I love stories that give you a surprise ending! I would love to see more by this author!

This was a fantastic book. Be warned though, it is a major tearjerker. It is a tale about Sam, a woman who had a shocking life and has found out she has an inoperable brain tumour. The story follows her journey to hook up with her old biker 'clan' finishing up at her friends grandparents. Her wish is to die by the beach so they take her to the beach where her friend has a house. More happens along the way but I don't want to spoil it.

I was moved by Sam's plight. I found myself laughing and crying with her. The love all her friends had for her was tangible and I felt it too.

It was a real page turner and got me from the first page. Read it, you won't be disappointed.
