At the center of this straight-to-the-gut (Publishers Weekly) novel is strong, lovely Augusta--Gus--wife and mother of three children, who is dying of cancer. In her last weeks she sits for a sculptor capturing her spirit in bronze--a brave final gesture for her young family. Above all, this poetic story is about the small, strange, and important ways people have of expressing love (Christian Science Monitor).
