Mrs Foster, a retired lady whose cup is half empty, is starting chemotherapy and is understandably anxious.

But through their unexpected friendship, Maisy Jones gives Mrs Foster much more than just a glimmer of hope.

A retired businesswoman – who tries to control everything around her – decides to write her own obituary. A young journalist takes up the task of finding out the truth, and the result is a life-altering friendship.
