Tears were falling down my face as I read this book. I loved the whole concept of it. It gave my heart and eyes a whole new outlook on life. That we only have one life to live. And its not who you know or what you done. It's how you lived it. If you have just a few months to live what would you do?

I would do my best to set things right again, no matter what the cost. Austin did just that. With a few months left, Austin sets out to make things right.
