Signs of Life: An anthology

In this anthology we see from the point of view of patients, care-givers and family members. Physician and writer Sarah Sasson has curated a collection that is international and unforgettable.

In a Californian cafe, a music-lover develops psychosis while drinking green tea. In a Ghanaian paediatric ward, a doctor cares for a boy with kidney disease, while definitive treatments remain out of reach. In Melbourne a mother watches as her son resists being taken to respite care.

This is not a book about death and dying. This is a book about life and how we live it. These stories reveal what is truly valued in this world, and speak to the ferocity with which we love.
