About this audiobook
Four people with various maladies--multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, cancer, paraplegia--move in to a flat together. Life happens.
Readers React...
"If this book were a movie, the cleaners would have to mop up buckets of tears. Of joy. Of laughter. And yes, of sadness. I'm lucky I had a box of tissues close by."
"You cracked my heart, and then fixed it. Broke my heart, and then repaired it. Smashed my heart, but somehow left me feeling that it was fully mended."
"I don't know if it's because I have MS, but I laughed, cheered, and cried.
Sometimes all three in the same chapter."
"I had to pause at the end of the final chapter, and have a good cry. Mostly tears of joy. Once composed, I read the epilogue. And damn it, if I was not in tears again."
"As a cat lover, 'kitty' was my favorite part of a mighty fine book!"
About the Book: Paul and Deena are friends with MS and Parkinson's Disease respectively. They've found a wonderful flat renovated for people with disabilities, only they can't afford it. Enter Albert, a former nurse with cancer, and Bolton, an athletic paraplegic. They too look at the flat, and love it. But can't afford it. The solution? The four of them move in together. And life happens.
