It doesn't matter, you'll be okay (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In a leafy suburban town in Denmark, Mark and Karin buy a picturesque old house that Karin dreams of remodeling-a home for their son, Andreas, to grow up in. Then Karin falls seriously ill.

Weathering a brutal cycle of rekindled hopes and devastating relapses, they persevere with the renovations, bedeviled by a barrage of accidents and problems that the project throws their way. But finishing the job takes on a new and bittersweet significance as Karin exhausts conventional treatments and they are forced to seek alternatives abroad.

It doesn't matter, you'll be okay is a poignant story of a family undergoing an ordeal that tests the limits of their resilience and resourcefulness, about the deep human need to create something lasting amidst the precarious uncertainties of life and death-and about how, amidst the shared moments of a lifetime, we become part of one another.
