When their only child was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) at the age of two, O'Hara and her husband were told that Caitlin could live a long life or be dead in a matter of months. Thirty-one years later, Caitlin lost her battle with this devastating disease following an excruciating two-year wait on the transplant list and a last-minute race to locate a pair of healthy lungs. Left in an existential crisis, O'Hara began to notice signs-- poignant, persistent synchronicities that seemed to lean toward proof of Caitlin's enduring presence. -- adapted from jacket
