Summary

The Bucket List meets How Stella Got Her Groove Brack in this joyful, bighearted novel about permission, pleasure, and choosing yourself without apology.

Renie has always done what’s expected of her. At thirty-nine, she’s a devoted wife, a mother of seven, and the kind of woman who puts everyone else first. But just weeks after giving birth to her youngest child, Renie is diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and given three months to live.

She begins a journal for her children, a way to leave behind the pieces of herself she won’t be there to give. As Renie fills these pages she starts to see her life clearly—for the first time. The years of sacrifice. The dreams deferred. The woman she never fully allowed herself to be. And with that clarity comes the bold urgent decision to live on her own terms.

Warm, wise, and full of heart, Every Goodbye Ain’t Gone is a moving celebration of life at its most fragile and most fierce; a reminder that it’s never too late to choose yourself.
