## Resource

A mother with dementia commands her three estranged daughters to help her carry out her assisted suicide in this gripping, emotionally charged novel. Through alternating perspectives, Meg Howrey plunges us into a suburban Indiana home where secrets, resentments, and wildly different worldviews collide. As the sisters grapple with legality, ethics, and their fractured family history, they’re forced to confront what it means to honor a dying parent’s final wish — and whether love can survive when choices feel like betrayals. Told with razor-sharp wit and heart-wrenching honesty, this is a story that will make you laugh, gasp, and cry — all while asking: Who gets to decide how we die?
