Perfect for you if...

  • You've lost someone close and want to read about a relationship that deepened rather than fractured under that weight.
  • You appreciate quiet, honest writing about brotherhood that doesn't shy away from the messy reality of grief.
  • You're curious about how two adult men—a lawyer-turned-musician and a missions worker—lived with such intentionality that their final year together became legendary.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a book that promises healing or neat closure. This is grief written in real time, not retrospective wisdom.
  • You prefer narratives with plot twists and dramatic turns. This is intimate memoir grounded in small moments rather than spectacle.
  • You find detailed accounts of illness and dying distressing rather than cathartic.

About this book

When Allen Levi's brother Gary received a diagnosis of inoperable brain cancer, neither anticipated the year that would follow. Beyond their sibling bond, Allen and Gary were best friends and lifelong bachelors—one a lawyer who became a singer-songwriter, the other a missions worker who traveled internationally. In this memoir, Levi documents their relationship and the details of how they lived fully during Gary's final year.
