A musician facing the untimely end of his career. An end-of-life doula with everything, and nothing, to lose. A timeless story in the vein of A Star is Born by celebrated author Jessica Strawser.

When Nova Husson, an end-of-life doula, meets Mayson Shaylor, everything she knows is cast into doubt. Committed to a world and profession that allows the elderly to bow out gracefully, taking on a younger man's case is unique, and tragic. Not to mention the fact that the once beloved singer-songwriter now must hang up his guitar for good, after a debilitating degenerative disease takes away the use of his hands. He's determined that there is no future for him, while she's determined to make him see there's life, even as death approaches. But Nova also holds powerful secrets of her own.

An emotional, powerful journey that asks the biggest of questions about life, death, and love, The Next Thing You Know is a timeless story of love, loss, and how through the deepest bonds of connection, we can heal.
