A teen grapples with
ALS and his decision to die in this devastatingly beautiful debut novel
infused with the haunting grace of samurai death poetry and the noble
importance of friendship.
Abe Sora is going to die, and he’s only
seventeen years old. Diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), he’s
already lost the use of his legs, which means he can no longer attend
school. Seeking a sense of normality, Sora visits teen chat rooms online
and finally finds what he’s been longing for: friendship without pity.
As
much as he loves his new friends, he can’t ignore what’s ahead. He’s
beginning to lose the function of his hands, and soon he’ll become even
more of a burden to his mother. Inspired by the death poems of the
legendary Japanese warriors known as samurai, Sora makes the decision to
leave life on his own terms. And he needs his friends to help him.
