We All Want Impossible Things

Edi and Ash have been best friends for over forty years. Since childhood they have seen each other through life''s milestones: stealing vodka from their parents, the Madonna phase, REM concerts, unexpected wakes, marriages, infertility, children. As Ash notes, ''Edi''s memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine.'' So when Edi is diagnosed with cancer, Ash''s world reshapes around the rhythms of Edi''s care, from making watermelon ice cubes to music therapy; from snack smuggling to impromptu excursions into the frozen winter night. Because life is about squeezing the joy out of every moment, about building a powerhouse of memories, about learning when to hold on, and when to let go.
