Résumé
Almost everyone makes it to fifty these days. And so did John. When his daughters give him a ticket to Rome, he decides it's time to conquer his fear of flying once and for all. But on the plane home he loses consciousness, and in the hospital he gets devastating news: he has colon cancer. What follows is a roller coaster of emotions, with ups and downs and newfound love... helping John realize just how much life is worth fighting for.
