When Cathy was seventeen, her brother Matty was her best friend. A year younger and much taller, he was clever, funny and outgoing. But one night in the summer of 1990, Matty was knocked down by a car and never walked or spoke again. Eight years later, he died.
This is a true story of a happy falimly ambushed by loss, the unknown place between life and death, and how to find love and joy in the world even when you know it will never be the same again.
