The number one New York Times best-selling writer of A Man Called Ove and Beartown delivers an insightful and poignant trip novella in regards to a man who sacrificed his family in the single-minded pursuit of success and the courageous litttle lady fighting for her life who crosses his way. It all commences with a father telling a tale to his child on Christmas Eve. But this is not your typical Christmas story. The father admits to his child that he's considered a life but he won't say whose - not yet. One week prior, in a hospital late at night, the man attained a five-year-old woman with malignancy. She's a good youngster - smart enough to know that she won't conquer cancer by pulling with crayons all day long, but it seems to make the men and women happy, so she continues doing it. As the man tells his child relating to this plucky litttle lady, he slowly uncovers more about himself: while he may be a successful entrepreneur, idolized by the marketing and his peers, he is aware he failed as a parent or guardian. Overwhelmed by the responsibility of fatherhood, he had taken the easy way to avoid it and left his better half and little young man 20 years ago to pursue professional success. Now he is left wondering if it's too past due to forge a romance with his child, who seems to be his opposite in every way - prizing pleasure over money, encircled by loving friends in a warm town where he seems right at home. Face to face with the idea that something is lacking, the man is given the sudden chance to do something selfless that may change the future of the little girl in the hospital foundation. But before they can make the deal of an eternity, he needs to determine what his own life has actually been worthwhile in the eye of his child. Therefore, he seeks him away and says him this storyline.... Written with Fredrik Backman's personal humor, compassion, and "knack for weaving tales that are believable and fanciful" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), The Deal of a Life time reminds us that life is a fleeting gift, and our only legacy is how we share that gift idea with those we love.
