Description:

What would you do if you were given only one year left to live? For twenty-nine years, Valancy Stirling has lived a gray, terrifyingly small life. Bullied by her overbearing mother, mocked as an "old maid" by her snobbish, relentlessly cruel relatives, and suffocated by the rigid expectations of Deerwood's elite, Valancy's only escape is her "Blue Castle"—a shimmering daydream of romance and adventure. But when a visit to a gruff local doctor results in a devastating letter diagnosing her with a fatal heart condition, Valancy's world cracks wide open. Stripped of her paralyzing fears, she decides that if she must die, she will finally live. Shattering the gilded cage of her family's respectability, Valancy rebels. She speaks her mind, defies her oppressors, and inexplicably defends the town's most notorious outcast—the rugged, mysterious Barney Snaith. As her audacity throws the Stirling clan into hysterical chaos, Valancy discovers that the twilight of her life just might hold the breathless romance and profound beauty she always dreamed of.
