Description
At just fourteen years old, Claire Bidwell Smith's life is turned upside down when her charismatic parents are diagnosed with cancer. As she navigates this devastating reality, Claire searches for ways to cope with the weight of loss and find meaning in a world without her loved ones.
This poignant coming-of-age story follows Claire as she experiments with different coping mechanisms - from boys and alcohol to travel and anonymity - all in an attempt to find solace in a time of great hardship. By the time she is twenty-five, both parents are gone, leaving Claire alone in the world.
Yet, despite the tragedy that has befallen her, Claire's story is one of remarkable resilience and determination. A powerful exploration of grief, loss, and the human spirit, The Rules of Inheritance offers a profound lesson on how to overcome life's greatest hardships and find a way forward in the darkest of times.
