“Petra Fields of Ellicott City, Maryland finds out that she has an inoperable brain tumor. At only 36 years old and a single mom, she decides to face her diagnosis of four to six months of life with dignity. So when Rev. Jasper Collins tells her to make a list of people she's wronged and to ask for their forgiveness, she quickly complies. Still, the most important thing of all was telling her 18-year-old daughter, Krista, that her father is actually not dead. But after apologizing to others (like her neighbor, whose husband she slept with), Petra gets fed up with apologizing and heads off on a monumental road trip that takes her to San Francisco, where she falls in love. She meets other admirers at tourist stops, and, after a transformative visit to Martin Luther King's Tomb, Petra heads home ready to face whatever comes. I think Ms. Forster did a great job with creating this "terminal patient" and it became an enlightening" tale. It's still wise and wonderful story as it points out once again, the importance of honesty and appreciating what you have while you have it.”
