A family faces an impossible diagnosis

Teenager Lincoln’s inoperable brain tumor brings sharply different hopes and fears into her family and closest relationships. As her health declines, her mother focuses on keeping her alive while her father weighs the quality of her remaining life; her best friend Ryan and boyfriend Jake struggle to support her in different ways. The description also signals a shift toward erratic behavior, escalating events, and deadly consequences, with questions about what happened to Lincoln becoming especially significant for Jake. The novel brings illness, end-of-life choices, and the strain a crisis can place on loved ones into a young adult story with a mystery at its center.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about serious illness and its effects on family and relationships.

Book overview

When teenager Lincoln is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, she must decide how she will live her final months. As her condition deteriorates, Lincoln battles not only to survive but to maintain positive relationships with her family, her best friend Ryan, and her boyfriend Jake.

 

While her mother is determined to do anything to keep Lincoln alive, her father worries about Lincoln's quality of life. Ryan tries to keep Lincoln smiling, but, despite his best efforts, Jake is struggling.

 

When Lincoln's end is near, her behavior becomes erratic. As events spiral out of control and lead to deadly consequences, Jake is led down a path he never expected. Everyone wants to know what happened to Lincoln-especially Jake.
