Overview

His future lay ahead of him. Her best days were suddenly and unexpectedly behind her. Within the uncertainty lies a connection neither saw coming. Tommy Green is a high school senior with an attitude and a mean right hook to match. Unassuming legal clerk Mia Childs finds herself alone, facing cancer. As the light in Mia's life dims, and Tommy's future stretches forward feeling dark and unknown, each finds they have something to offer that the other desperately needs. Can this unexpected bond help them find a way through the impossible? Only time (and a little help from a certain unconventional medicine) will tell. A story of human connection and that will leave you smiling, even through some tears.

Reviews

The characters with their quirks and idiosyncrasies ​were a joy to follow. ​Incorporating the painting by William Holman Hunt and the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem - both entitled The Lady of Shallot - ​ was a wonderful ​addition to the book, offering a parallel story line of friendship, loss, love and personal growth. - Amazon Review This is a book that reminds us that heroism is not reserved for the heroes. Each of us possesses more courage and potential than we know, we just might need someone else to hold up a mirror so that we can see it. -Amazon Review There's much to take from this small gem. Litsky's prose captures the experience of illness and loss from the perspective of those who depart and those who are left behind. But, rather than leaving us in a state of grief, The Closing of the Day affirms the beauty of this fragile life, reminds us of the profound power of genuine connection, and urges us to embrace the devastating joy of being human. - Amazon Review
