"This little book is about journey. How do we keep walking and finding our way when the road ahead must pass through difficulty? This question feels relevant to where we are globally. As things we once depended on unravel, die or disappear, when we are hurting, how do we keep going?"Hanna du Plessis, August 2024

A collection of essays from Hanna du Plessis that explores two years of life after receiving a terminal ALS diagnosis. Hanna gives us rare insight into the details of her experience with a progressive disease while also earning a graduate degree in creative writing and traveling the world. It is rare to find these two things so well-forged together: an unflinching gaze into loss and an undaunted determination to fully experience life.

Hanna‘s story, as well as the entirety of her ALS writings, will soon be available in books of their own. Meanwhile we have the gift of this short powerful collection.
