Erin Stokes was diagnosed with Dead Man Walking Syndrome when she was just ten years old. A supposedly soulless being, with an inability to feel love or emotion. When a girl named Rebecca May waltzes shamelessly into her life, Erin tests the limits of her illness. Maybe love is possible for a dead man walking?
***
Love had never seemed probable, or even possible, for the nineteen-year-old lurker Erin Stokes. Emotion and feeling had always been the one thing she could never muster, and so, at just ten years of age, she was diagnosed with Dead Man Walking Disorder. An illness that disrupts the functions of the brain in such a way that it leaves the victim unable to feel emotion, Erin believes her life is over. But when a misunderstanding at a bookshop leads her to meet the alluring Rebecca May, Erin discovers she might just be able to break boundaries that nobody dared challenge. 

Through beauty and pain, sunshine and rain and whatever else the world throws at them, Erin knows that she is more than just the sum of her parts.
