A heart-wrenching yet beautiful coming-of-age story about love, loss, and the power of hope, as a boy who has lost faith in everything meets a girl who is running out of time but refuses to stop believing in the beauty of life.
---
Some hearts are shattered by life, others are healed by love...
Eighteen-year-old Eli used to believe in God, in love, in happiness-until his parents' bitter divorce shattered his world. Forced to leave behind the city he once called home, he's drowning in anger, resentment, and the belief that hope is nothing more than a lie.
Then he meets Jessica.
Jessica Alba has spent her entire life battling sickle cell, watching her father lose the same fight she now faces. But she refuses to let her illness define her. Even with endless hospital visits, mounting medical bills, and the weight of a future she might never have, Jessica greets every day with a smile, unwavering faith, and a love for life that Eli can't understand.
She is everything he's not. And yet, somehow, she becomes everything he needs.
As their bond deepens, Jessica teaches Eli what it means to truly live, to love without fear, and to hold onto hope-even in the face of heartbreak. But time is running out, and some battles can't be won.
When Jessica's health takes a devastating turn, Eli must face the hardest lesson of all: sometimes, love isn't about holding on-it's about knowing when to let go.
A heart-wrenching, emotional journey of love, loss, and the unbreakable spirit of hope, Until the last Sunset is a story that will stay with you long after the final page.
