A college student's job caring for a woman with ALS transforms her life in this debut novel, now a major motion picture starring Hilary Swank, Josh Duhamel, and Emmy Rossum.
One of People Magazine's Top Ten Books of the Year
"A complex and satisfying dish: a story of intimate strangers and their impact on each other's lives." - O, The Oprah Magazine
Bec is adrift. It's the summer before her junior year in college. She's sleeping with a married professor, losing interest in her classes, and equivocating about her career. She takes a job caring for Kate, a thirty-six-year-old woman who has been immobilized by ALS.
As it turns out, before the disease Kate was a stylish and commanding woman, an advertising executive and an accomplished chef. Now, as she and Bec spend long days together, Bec begins to absorb Kate's sophistication and her sensuality, cooking for her, sharing her secrets, and gradually beginning to live her own life with a boldness informed by Kate's influence. The more intense her commitment to Kate, the further Bec strays from the complacency of her college life. And when Kate's marriage veers into dangerous territory, Bec will have to choose between the values of her old life and the allure of an entirely new one.
"Michelle Wildgen writes with a fresh, appealing honesty and has done a marvelous job of capturing that youthful moment in our lives when we are like sponges ready to soak up someone else's character, taste, and charm." -France Prose, People (four stars, critic's choice)
"In Kate and Bec, Wildgen has created a memorable pair. . . . This closely observed novel illuminates some of the ways debilitating illness transforms not only those stricken but also the people who care for them." - The New York Times Book Review (editors' choice)
