'It's funny how life goes on, how we keep our daily routines and nobody else is affected by my mom's illness. I go to school, and my classmates all act the same. They're not affected. Dad goes to work, and his co workers aren't affected. They all act the same, because they all have their own families to think about.' Nathaniel is angry. His mother, Sharon, has terminal cancer, and he realizes that his family will never be the same without her. To make matters worse, Nathaniel's father, David, and sister, Ali, almost flippantly continue about their everyday lives. In reality, they feel the pain of knowing a loved one will die soon too. They just try to keep brave faces for Sharon. At the urging of his family, Nathaniel reluctantly talks about his feelings with friends and loved ones, and he joins the school basketball team. Nothing seems to help ease the pain of knowing his mother's death looms. Can Nathaniel learn how to manage his emotions? Can his family come together while Sharon's passing is imminent? Find out in the emotional and thought-provoking The Last Snapshot.
