North on 101

North on 101 by Anne Starr is an achingly intimate memoir of two siblings bound by love-and ultimately by loss. When Anne's brother, Mansfield, is diagnosed with terminal cancer, she travels across the country to be by his side, drawn by an unspoken summons she can't refuse. What she finds is a world reduced to a single bedroom, painkillers, and fragile hopes-yet illuminated by small, precious moments of humor and tenderness.
