The Speed of Life

Winner of a 2020 Writer's Digest Self-Published E-Book Award in Contemporary Fiction and 2021 Author Shout Reader Ready Award The desert southwest can be an unforgiving place - thirsty and rugged, razor-sharp and venomous. But when funeral director Hope Moret moves from Pennsylvania, fleeing a painful past, she seeks solace in the temperamental land and the mysterious Night-Blooming Cereus that becomes the heart of her nursery. When she is diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disorder years later, at 38, she realizes she must find herself ... before she loses herself. A request to her husband to find and bring to her bedside four faces from the past - a treasured aunt, an old boyfriend, and two long-lost brothers - leads her and those she's summoned to confront the choices of their lives and a buried secret that binds them together. Will Hope, as her symptoms increase, have time to make peace with her loved ones and the harsh world around her?
