'Heartbreaking and inspiring in equal measure. A must-read.' 'Nicola is a beautiful human being and her story is full of the joys and sorrows of humanity.' The inspiring, life-affirming memoir from Nicola Nuttall about her incredible daughter Laura ‘The words were like a wave in the sea that lifted me off my feet, unmoored and scrabbling for something solid to hold me up, but the sand had fallen away, and I was adrift. The sea was vast, and I was lost and utterly numb.’ When Nicola Nuttall was told that her 18-year-old daughter Laura had only 12 months to live, following a diagnosis of the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, it was her greatest fear come true. But while her mother struggled to adjust and searched for new treatments, Laura decided to embark on an extraordinary bucket list. Meeting Michelle Obama, piloting a Royal Navy ship, skydiving and graduating from university were just some of Laura’s many incredible adventures. The Stars Will Still Be There
