The Collected Regrets of Clover

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Put your heart out there.

Let it get broken.
Take chances.
Make mistakes . . .
Let yourself live.

-----

Clover Brooks has always felt a stronger connection with those at the end of their life than in the middle of it. She dedicates herself to ushering people peacefully though their final days, working as a death doula in New York City. Her client's last words are collected in three treasured notebooks, neatly labelled: ADVICE, CONFESSIONS and REGRETS.

Then she meets Claudia: a woman who has had the kind of life that Clover hasn't dared imagine for herself. But even Claudia has one regret. Now, with only an old love letter, a road map and a leap of faith, Clover begins her first adventure...

A big-hearted story about figuring out what we really want from life - and finding the courage to go after it.
