120 days...
Authors: M. Stratton
A Novel by M. Stratton
and inspired by her parents.
120 days... The average number of days someone stays at Last Resort.
17 weeks. Surrounded by love, laughter and support.
4 months more time than they had before they walked through the door.
Real estate developer Ethan McGregor’s life was changed forever when his younger brother told him he was dying of cancer. Ethan was ready to do whatever it took to save Evan, but Evan had other plans.
Say goodbye…
Samantha Truman runs the privately-funded Last Resort. Watching her parents drive and determination to live longer than the doctors had given them was the inspiration for the resort. It is her heart and soul—she lives to make sure that each day is precious, knowing one more sunrise or sunset can make all the difference to the guests at Last Resort.
After finding his brother’s journal and discovering more about Last Resort, Ethan is determined to find out if this place is one of those “too good to be true” places, which turn out to be a scam. But he was not ready for Samantha Truman; he was not ready for everything to change, for his point of view in life to be so incredibly altered, for the world to turn on its axis. There are, after all, some things Ethan can’t control, and who to fall in love with is one of them.
How much can change in 120 days?

To my parents who every day kick cancer’s ass.
Your amazing attitude inspired this story.
I can only hope it inspires others to never give up.
To all the people who have cancer,
who have kicked cancer to the curb,
and
to those who are no longer with us, but have
fought as hard as they could, for as long as they could,
you are more than your diagnosis.
To all the family, friends and caregivers of these individuals,
who have stood by them and cared for them.
Thank you.
