Rachel Clarke is a palliative care doctor, who worked as a journalist before retraining as a doctor. She shares her personal and professional journey with the reader through this transition and her eventual specialisation in palliative care.
Although there is terminal illness and death in a hospice, Clarke instead found that there is an abundance of love, compassion, and kindness there, which has taught her about life. Her patients have taught her to cherish and make the most of every last moment. This book is very emotional and it is a must read for all audiences to gain an inspiring perspective on life.

With the nature of modern society and the pandemic of sleep deprivation, this book is a must read.
