Nothing Left Behind

When faced with your own mortality, when death is imminent for you and all those around you, what would you do differently? What would you regret? How would you raise your child? How would you face your final hours? These are the questions Brennan, Joel and Eve are faced with, when thrown into a world of limited days. Plagued by a nightmare, Joel cannot decipher, he is desperate to do what is right by his daughter. Brennan believes he has nothing to show for his life and, now when it is too late, he is overcome by bitterness and self-loathing. And Eve’s agoraphobia and anxiety is wearing thin as another part of her is desperate for life.

The reader is plunged into our characters inner worlds, as fate drags them together in the final days, submerged with both despair and hope, devastation and love. And what of your worldview; your beliefs, philosophy and politics, where would it lead you when you come to stand face-to-face with death itself?

L. J. Cherry was born in Welwyn Garden City, but raised from a young age in Swansea. Taking a great interest in politics, history, and philosophy, his education took him to Oxford Brookes University. After graduating with a 2.1 in Politics and Philosophy, he moved to Brighton and spent the next five years working with students from troubled backgrounds and with mental health difficulties. Moving back to Swansea, whilst continuing his work with students, he acquired a diploma in existential counselling, studied psychology, and volunteered in his spare time supporting bereaved people with Cruse Bereavement Care. An admirer of existential philosophy, Liam has attempted to sew its ideas throughout this story. As a first-time author, Liam is excited to share this book with you and he hopes you enjoy reading it, as much as he enjoyed writing it.
