Meet Brás de Oliva Domingos. The miracle child of a world-famous Brazilian writer, Brás spends his days penning other people's obituaries and his nights dreaming of becoming a successful author himself--writing the end of other people's stories, while his own has barely begun. But on the day that life begins, would he even notice? Does it start when he meets the girl of his dreams? Or at 11, when he has his first kiss? Is it later in life when his first son is born? Or earlier when he might have found his voice as a writer? Each day in Brás's life is like a page from a book. Each one reveals the people and things who have made him who he is: his mother and father, his child and his best friend, his first love and the love of his life. And like all great stories, each day has a twist he'll never see coming.
