When nurse Norma Bowe decided to teach a course on death at a college in New Jersey, she never expected it to be popular. But year after year students crowd into her classroom, and the reason is clear: under the guise of discussions about last wills and last breaths, Norma's "death class" is really about how to make the most of our lives. Award-winning journalist Erika Hayasaki shows how Norma steers her students from their tormented families and neighbourhoods toward happiness: she rescues one young woman from her suicidal mother, helps a young man manage his schizophrenic brother, and inspires another to leave his gang life behind. Hayasaki's expert reporting and literary prose bring Norma's wisdom out of the classroom, transforming it into an inspiring lesson for all. In the end, Norma's very own life - and how she lives it - is the lecture that sticks.
