From the back cover

The afternoon an oncologist hands Shane Bradford a terminal diagnosis, he drives to a cemetery to buy his own grave. The plot he wants, high on the eastern crest, has just been reserved for Teddy, the golden retriever of his brother Elliott, who died the night before. Shane calls his father Robert, his mother Eleanor and his sister Caroline. None will hear him; they accuse him of faking illness to spite a dead dog. So he signs for the damp hollow no one wants and blocks them all.

His lab report reads advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, with under three months expected. The tumor presses on his portal vein, and treatment might buy only a little time. Yet Eleanor has already cancelled his hospital deposit, and the mansion's door code no longer admits him. In the foyer, white lilies and portraits of Teddy have replaced the one family photograph he was ever asked to stand in.

Asked to wait eight years for Elliott to feel safe, Shane is now out of time. He arranges his own casket and burial, signing as Shane Bradford, and decides at last where he belongs.
