Late fragments : everything I want to tell you (about this magnificent life) / Kate Gross. - Large print edition. - Leicester : Thorpe, Isis, 2017. - 198 p. (large print) ; 24 cm.
Ambitious and talented, Kate Gross worked at Number 10 Downing Street for two British prime ministers while only in her twenties. At thirty, she was CEO of a charity working with fragile democracies in Africa. She had married "the best-looking man I'd ever kissed" and given birth to twin boys. The future was bright. But, aged thirty-four, Kate was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, and died on Christmas Day 2014, two years later. She began to write, as a gift to herself, a reminder that she could create even as her body tried to self-destruct. These are her reflections on the wonder to be found in the everyday, the importance of friendship and love, and how to fill your life with hope and joy even in the face of tragedy.
