Description
Like so many couples, Vicki and Sonny are losing their way in midlife. With three daughters grown and gone, the ebb and flow of seasonal businesses on Prince Edward Island, and decades of marriage with all of its ups and mostly downs lately, Vicki is tired of being the quiet fisherman’s restless wife. Surely there is more to life and love.
And suddenly, there is. But change comes in the form of a rare cancer in Sonny’s brain, and overnight Vicki goes from bustling entrepreneur and arts supporter to constant caregiver. The couple’s next six years are reshaped to something unrecognizable, unimaginable; Sonny can’t fish anymore, and his ability to communicate is drastically impacted. A marriage at risk becomes a life imperiled.
The Luckiest Ones charts Vicki’s family’s passage through the six years of endless appointments and adjustments that come with cancer. It’s the story of relentless caregiving, community support, and family unity.
In the end, Vicki and Sonny find in cancer what they have needed all along: a space where the love flows freely between them, no words required.
