Counting Stars

If only wishing on a star could fix this.

Kate Jones wants everything with her teenage sweetheart, Josh Walker. Marriage, house, kids-it’s all she dreamed of. Whilst blogging about their lives, Kate feels the thrill of young love and ticking things off her list.

Everything goes smoothly until the time comes to expand their family. After losses and struggles, Kate and Josh seek professional help to somehow get the baby they are so desperate for. In the process of pre-treatment tests, however, they discover the unthinkable.

If you knew you were dying, would you want to know how long you had left, or would you live each day like your last? It’s the harsh choice Kate has to make as she faces a final dash for a different kind of happiness.

With every day more precious than the last, Kate focuses on being present and making memories for those she’ll leave behind. As the inevitable draws closer, will she achieve her new dreams, or will Josh be left to finish them for her?
