To truly live, you have to realize you're dying.
Twenty-nine-year-old Valancy Stirling has lived her entire life with an overbearing mother and an intrusive aunt, living in the shadow of a family that suppresses her every aspiration, condemns her, and treats her like an old maid. But a doctor's diagnosis changes everything: she's dying, with one year to live. Now Valancy decides to live a completely different life, breaking the cage her family has built and defying convention. Valancy is transformed, discovering a new side of the world, breathing deeply. She runs away from home, moves in with a dubious man, and cares for his sick daughter. Then she meets Barney Snaith, and the events unfold even more dramatically. Valancy finds her imaginary "Azure Castle," the place she's been mentally escaping to her entire life, in the real world.
The story of a strong heroine who overcame social pressure and her fears is a reminder that it's never too late to live the life you truly desire. A touching and witty novel about love, self-discovery, and second chances.
A novel from the author of "Anne of Green Gables"!
