The clock of Sharon Abbot's inevitable passing is winding down. She has Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and the future never looked so bleak. Her sickness is getting worse, and she doesn't have anything to hold on to. Or does she? A young couple, unable to bear children of their own, find their way into her life. She is touched by their affection, but she knows she's living on borrowed time; every second she feels weaker; every minute she's losing her strength, more and more. Sharon has a nearly impossible choice: hold on and fight through (the smallest possible chance), or let go and breathe her last. "Dying is harder than I thought."
