Publisher's Synopsis
Kerryn Baker lived for only ten months after her shock cancer diagnosis. Before she died, she told her historian husband to write about her life—knowing writing would help him find a way out of grief. Mark wrote the book in the period known in Jewish tradition as the Shloshim—the first thirty days of mourning following the seven days of the Shiva. Thirty Days is a meditation on life, death, love and marriage—it bares the souls of two people who shared a life since their schooldays, and unexpectedly found themselves at the end of a journey of love.
