The Next Thing You Know

More about the book

A musician facing the end of his career and an end-of-life doula with everything to lose collide in this powerful novel. Nova Huston, an end-of-life doula, dedicates herself to helping terminally ill individuals find peace with their impending deaths. Unlike her methodical business partner, Nova embraces challenging clients, including those who are young, difficult, or in desperate need of companionship. When Mason Shaylor, an indie singer-songwriter who has vanished from the spotlight, arrives at her door, Nova only knows that his life as he knew it is over. His deteriorating health renders playing guitar impossible, leaving him feeling as if he is already dead. Struggling to say goodbye, Mason presents Nova with her toughest challenge yet. Despite her instinct to maintain distance from clients, she discovers that she and Mason share unexpected connections, and their meeting may become the most transformative experience for both. This emotional story explores the power of human connection, love in unexpected places, hope against the odds, and what it truly means to live life without regrets.
