THE LAST DAYS OF RABBIT HAYES
Book ID/图书代码： 03540013B64994
English Summary/英文概要： Jack and Molly’s beloved daughter Mia ‘Rabbit’ Hayes has just turned 40. She’s Davey and Grace’s baby sister, a single mother to 12 year old Juliet, best friend to Marjorie Watts and she has nine days to live.
We meet her entering a hospice, still refusing to accept her fate, and backed by her family who are determined to save her against all odds. But as the days pass Rabbit learns to focus on and embrace the present whilst those around her grieve, fight, love and lose.
It’s Rabbit’s time to say goodbye and as she slips in and out of consciousness she relives her youth and the short time she got to spend with Johnny Faye, her brother’s best friend, the singer in his band and the love of her life.
As she disappears in front of them, Rabbit’s friends and family are forced to review their own lives whilst fighting one another for the right to care for Juliet. But faced with the loss of the only parent she’s ever known, Juliet has her own ideas.
Rabbit’s battle is all but over but for the ones she loves their battle has just begun.

初遇小兔时，小兔刚刚进入医院，在家人们一致地鼓励与支持下，那时的她还努力拒绝接受残酷的命运。然而随着时间的流逝，当身边的人们还沉浸在悲痛中，经历着悲欢离合时，小兔却意识到自己更应该学会集中精力，享受当下。
