Description

The inspiring, life-affirming memoir from Nicola Nuttall about her incredible daughter Laura When Nicola Nuttall was told that her 18-year-old daughter Laura had only 12 months to live, following a diagnosis of the most aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, she couldn’t begin to process her emotions. It was her greatest fear come true. But while her mother struggled to adjust and searched for new treatments, Laura made a decision: she would live her life to the full and embark on an extraordinary bucket list. Meeting Michelle Obama, piloting a Royal Navy ship, sky diving, going on safari in South Africa, driving monster trucks, taking tea at the Ritz, dancing on stage in front of thousands and graduating from university were just some of the many adventures Laura undertook. The Stars Will Still Be There is Nicola’s raw but beautifully written account of helping her daughter make the most of her remaining time, while dealing with her own pain along with that of her younger daughter Gracie and husband, Mark. This is a heartbreaking, life-changing memoir that reveals the fragility of humans, the power of love and why we should all ‘Be More Laura’ every single day.

Author Biography:

Nicola Nuttall is the proud mum of Laura and Gracie, and lives in Barrowford, Lancashire, where she runs Giddy Kippers, an indoor play centre, with her husband, Mark. Since losing Laura to the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), Nicola has become a passionate fundraiser, speaker and campaigner, raising awareness of the cancer and working with charities such as the Brain Tumour Charity and Brain Tumour Research to call for better, kinder treatments for those diagnosed with brain tumours. Nicola can be found on X (Twitter) as @shitscaredmum, the account she set up as an outlet for the rollercoaster of emotions experienced while caring for her daughter. She is a trustee of the charity Our Brain Bank and runs the Be More Laura Foundation, which funds research into glioblastoma. She also runs the website www.bemorelaura.com, where further information on many of the issues covered in this book can be found.
