    In this poignant novel by a New York Times–bestselling author, a dying woman looks back on the great relationships of her life.

As she quickly realizes, this means coming to terms with her most fruitful and important bonds—her “real connections”—all of which have been with women.

Insightful and witty, A Reckoning is an unforgettable portrait of one woman’s journey to seize life before it ends, and of the power in embracing the fact that the most challenging interactions are often the most rewarding.
