A story of wondering what you would do if your life would soon be over, and if there is a God. The writing is so well done you can visually see everything that's happening, and feel the pain of both father and son dealing with the end. Beautifully written with a steady flow of emotions it doesn't disappoint the reader. I appreciate the beauty of the story while having to remember the title of the book. Thanks to NetGalley and publishers for an early read of this story.

This is a beautifully written story about a father and sons last journey together as the son faces his last few months of life. I love this bear hunt experience they go on together - it was important to the boy to feel like a man before dying and the father was determined to make that happen for him. Along the way Scott Reardon does a wonderful job capturing the love between the two, the desire to have life mean something, and how you reevaluate everything when faced with tragedy. It’s a quick read and be prepared for tears, but absolutely worthwhile.
