Madeline McKnight Signs Off (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781668225226)

"An extraordinary exploration of friendship that spans the broadest universal themes of love and loyalty to the most intricate, intimate, and memorable details of a human life." --Jill McCorkle, New York Times bestselling author

An unconventional relationship between women of two different generations becomes something transcendent in this vulnerable, heartbreaking, and life-affirming debut novel that proves it's never too late to come of age.

Madeline McKnight is writing her final annual report. A former Wall Street power player, she uses a pie chart to rank her most hated rivals, a line graph to follow the trajectory of her net worth and reputation, and even a formula to predict when the metastasized cancer will kill her. But there's no equation to predict the likelihood that Bri Davis, Madeline's estranged best friend's daughter, will agree to take care of her at the end of her life. Bri is a nursing student fresh off a breakup, ambivalent about her future, and drowning in debt. She agrees to Madeline's strange proposal, mostly for the obscene payday. Sharp as knives and intimidatingly smart, Bri finds herself face-to-face with a force of nature rather than an ailing patient. Madeline ropes Bri into the bigger plans she has afoot for her final act. Madeline McKnight has never gone away quietly and she doesn't plan to start now.

As this unlikely pair teams up to tackle Madeline's final days can they trade her badwill for goodwill before it's too late?
