The story of a cancer diagnosis that tore apart a family and how those left behind put it back together, told one hazy memory at a time.

Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when they discover Erica has terminal cancer during a routine ultrasound. What follows is a heart-rending journey that still manages to find moments of humour and joy as Gonzalo prepares his newborn for life while simultaneously saying goodbye to his wife.
A memoir told in fragments, Never Better is about reconciling hope with tragedy and doing the best with the cards youve been dealt when youre a widower and father of two sons under two.
