Loveable, charming and cheese-loving Rich is dying of a brain tumour. For Ruth, the idea that her time with her adored husband is painfully limited is too much to handle. For their young son Ollie, each day it becomes more difficult to understand.

In the wake of her husband's premature death, Ruth faces the biggest challenge of all - carrying on when the love of her life is gone. And looking after her young son Ollie while managing her eccentric family is just the start.

Trying to deal with her own grief while helping Ollie through his own is no easy task, but Rich's death also forces Ruth to confront her own childhood; only when she can come to terms with that will she be able to face the journey she's now on.

Ruth and Ollie's lives will never be the same again but, together, they can begin to build their new world.
