In a hand-built cabin deep in the woods, time moves slowly — and so does grief, healing, and love. With her aging dogs, five spirited cats, and the silence of nature as her only company, Afarin Rava traces the rhythm of a life shaped by caregiving, solitude, and unexpected strength. Written with honesty and tenderness, this memoir offers a window into the inward journey of survival, the quiet endurance of the human spirit, and what it means to stay until it's time to go.
