Each story in this collection portrays people facing an obstacle or a sorrow at one moment in their lives, most often illness or a death to grieve, and captures the precise instant when they face their fate or their condition. Among them are a mother with cancer, a slightly disabled teenage girl who wants to end it all, a father discouraged by his delinquent son, the divorced parents of a son in a coma, and a younger brother marked by the death of the eldest.
